• A higher UTS/YS ratio with more uniform elongation ensures higher plastic energy absorption under sudden cyclic loading conditions prevalent during earthquakes and hence prevents brittle failure of bars. • The revised specification of seismic grade (Fe 500S) in 1786 requires UTS/YS ratio of 1.25.
Structural Steel for buildings and Strucrtures with improved seismic resistance conforming to IS15962:2012 E250S Sections: Angles, Channels, Beams Performance of Steel Structures in High Seismic Areas depends on • Stability of Structures • Material Strength • Ductility of Individual sections • Connections- Decide the overall performance
Advantages of RINL's products
• Our structural steel exhibits strain-hardening capability. • Uniform degree of working during rolling and normalized cooling of VSP's product ensures resistance to buckling. • The ratio of the tensile strength to the yield strength for VSP's structural steel is much above 1.25. • Shearing and thermal cutting of items requires stress relieving for certain applications like galvanizing. Our product with cold saw cutting has a distinct advantage in this aspect. • Though IS 2062 specification has a wide range of chemical composition, our chemical composition for making various structural steels in a very narrow range for ensuring close range of mechanical properties. • The nitrogen in VSP's steel is much lower than the specification requirement which ensures better toughness in the heat affected zone of weldment. • Our steel of low impurities and trace elements prevents temper brittleness in the welding. • Low hydrogen content in our steel prevents hydrogen embrittlement after galvanizing.

The same was possible with the inherent strength of latest steel making facilities coupled with ultra modern rolling mills. TEMPCORE technology is used for making these TMT rebars by QST (Quenching & Self Tempering) Technology Bureau of Indian Standards in its endeavour to enhance the over all quality of rebars, which are used extensively for Reinforcement Concrete Construction (RCC) and even in critical applications where higher UTS/YS ratio is called for, introduced three new grades Fe 415 D, Fe 500 D & Fe 550 D in the last amendment of IS:1786-2008.

The higher UTS/YS ratio helps in making the structure more safe. With the reduced impurity contents of Phosphorous & Sulphur, these reinforcement bars are more tough and ductile with improved performance on site and in service. Added to the above, reduction in carbon content improves weldability to a great extent. These rebars can be easily welded by conventional welding procedures.
