Typical applications
- Foundations, slabs, beams and columns
- Multi-storey residential and commercial buildings
- Bridges, transport structures and civil works
- Industrial foundations and reinforced concrete frames
TMT Reinforcement Bars
Ribbed reinforcement steel for concrete structures, from individual homes to demanding civil works.
Start with the engineering need.
Thermo-mechanically treated reinforcement bars are designed to combine a strong outer zone with a comparatively ductile core. The rib pattern supports mechanical bond with concrete while the selected grade and diameter respond to the structural design.
Available forms
- Common reinforcement diameters
- Standard commercial lengths
- Grade options subject to confirmed supply
- Project-wise bundled quantities
Selection factors.
Final selection belongs to the project specification and engineer. Confirm these inputs before placing an order.
Engineer-specified grade and diameter
Record this requirement clearly in the enquiry, drawings or material schedule.
Ductility and bend requirements
Record this requirement clearly in the enquiry, drawings or material schedule.
Bar scheduling and lap strategy
Record this requirement clearly in the enquiry, drawings or material schedule.
Documentation and identification needs
Record this requirement clearly in the enquiry, drawings or material schedule.
From requirement to dispatch.
A simplified process overview. The exact production and inspection route depends on the ordered product and applicable standard.
Rolling
Billets are reduced through controlled rolling stands to the required bar profile.
Quenching
The hot bar surface is rapidly cooled to develop the required outer structure.
Self-tempering
Residual core heat tempers the cooled surface as temperatures equalize.
Inspection
Dimensions, surface condition and relevant mechanical properties are checked to the applicable plan.
Questions worth asking.
Practical answers for early product and procurement discussions.
Which TMT grade should I select?
Use the grade specified by the structural engineer. Grade choice depends on design loads, ductility demand, seismic detailing and the governing code.
Can one diameter replace another?
Not without a revised bar schedule or engineer approval. Area of steel, spacing, anchorage and congestion all change with diameter.
What should be included in an enquiry?
Share grade, diameters, quantities, preferred lengths, delivery location and the required date.
