Reasons you should use the best quality sariya to make your home earthquake-resistant
The Indian plate is the tectonic plate located in the Indian subcontinent and it is one of the reasons behind India’s vulnerability to earthquakes. Almost 56% of land in India is prone to earthquakes and the intensity ranges from moderate to severe earthquakes. Recently the tremors were experienced in Delhi. Known to be highly populated, consisting of high-rise buildings, it is a threat that can take the lives of many. As we all know, an earthquake doesn’t kill anyone but the falling building does! This is why it is important to invest in the best quality sariya (TMT bars) to make buildings earthquake-resistant.
India is a country with many earthquake-prone areas. In fact, there are a few regions that are not earthquake-prone. According to a report, 56% of India’s land area is prone to moderate-to-severe earthquakes. It is, therefore, important to use high-quality construction materials to ensure the stability of structures in earthquake-prone areas. One important construction material is sariya (TMT bars). Best quality sariya plays a very important role in making a building earthquake-resistant.
Reasons to choose best Quality Saria for Earthquake Resistance
Here are some reasons you should use the best quality sariya to make your home earthquake-resistant:
Ductility: When it comes to seismic resistance, ductility is one of the important features of the TMT bars. The TMT bars can bring a higher level of flexibility to the structure due to its unique manufacturing process, which makes it ideal for buildings in areas where earthquakes are frequent. This ensures that when the buildings are shaken up in the event of an earthquake, it can easily absorb the shocks without breaking.
Corrosion resistance: Corrosion is a major problem for many types of structures. When ordinary sariya corrodes, it weakens and becomes more vulnerable to the after-effects of an earthquake. This is why many engineers, contractors and builders prefer to use corrosion-resistant TMT bars. SEL Tiger TMT bars come with enhanced anti-corrosive properties which ensures that the concrete is bonded tightly with the bars. All these properties of our TMT bars keep buildings standing even under stress.
High strength: Earthquake-resistant TMT bars also come in various grades of strength and ductility. 550D grade TMT bars are the most suitable for earthquake-prone areas as they have mechanical properties (strength & ductility) with consistent quality to resist tremors. SEL TIGER TMT bars comply with IS 1786:2008 for CRS Fe550D Grade.
Flexibility: Best quality sariya have good flexibility and bendability, which ensures that they do not break while bending. This attribute is very important when you are looking for the best quality sariya for high seismic zones. Our SEL TigerTMT bars have 16% elongation. This bendability and flexibility help TMT bars in resisting the effects of earthquakes. In addition, the unique composition of Fe 550D allows it to resist corrosion and weathering, making it a durable choice for any construction project.
Fire resistance: Often tremors caused by severe earthquakes can cause fires. These fires start when electrical and gas lines are dislodged due to the earth’s shaking. Due to the high thermal stability, SEL Tiger TMT bars can withstand 400 to 600-degree temperatures; this ensures the structural integrity of the buildings even during a fire.

FAQs
1. What is the difference between different grades of Sariya, and how should I choose one for my home construction project?
TMT bars (Sariya) are available in a range of grades. Fe415, Fe550, and Fe550D are known to be the most popular choices. Fe 550, and Fe 550D are known for high-rise construction, and civil construction, while Fe415 is for slabs, stairs, and independent housing. The choice depends on the specific requirements of your construction project. Generally, higher grades offer better strength and durability.
2. How to ensure Sariya I purchase meets industry standards?
Look for industry standard certifications such as Bureau of Indian Standards of India (BIS) and test certificates for finding the best quality Sariya. SEL Tiger has quality, environmental, health & safety certifications like ISO 9001:2015, ISO 140001:2015, OHSMS 45001:2018 & IS 1786:2008 for our manufacturing units.
3. Are there specific construction practices or guidelines for using earthquake-resistant sariya?
Inquire about recommended construction practices that complement the use of earthquake-resistant sariya. Proper detailing and installation are crucial for maximizing seismic performance.
