Important Facts on

500D TMT Bar

 Introduction
• The Indian subcontinent has a past filled with
pulverizing seismic tremors. The real purpose behind
the high recurrence and power of the tremors is that
the Indian plate is crashing into Asia at a rate of
around 47 mm/year. Geological insights of India
demonstrate that just about 54% of the land is
defenceless against quakes.
As per IS 1893 (Part 1) 2002 doles out Five levels of seismicity for
India as far as zone factors.
 Zone 5
Highest probable earthquake areas comes
under Zone 5 which includes

Western and Central North and Middle

Kashmir Region Himalayas Bihar

North-East Indian Andaman and Nicobar

Rann of Kutch region group of Islands
 Zone 4
Zone 4 considered as High Damage Risk Zone.
Areas include under this zone are

Jammu and Himachal

Kashmir Pradesh Uttarakhand Sikkim

Chandigarh, Western Uttar

North Punjab Pradesh North Bengal Sundarbans

Bihar the
northern part of Near the border
Patan Area in the state like of India and
Delhi Maharastra Raxaul Nepal
 Zone 3
This zone identifies as Moderate Damage Risk
Zone.

Zone 2
Zone 2 is marked as Low Damage Risk Zones.

Zone 1
India being earthquake hazard zones no areas are marked under Zone 1.
As per National Centre for Seismology
West Bengal marked as a High Seismic
Zone. Therefore it’s very important to
choose the right TMT bar for any
construction work.
 There are 3 kind of TMT bar which is been
used when it comes to any construction work.
Differences between each of these are:

Moderately High Strength with High Flexibility

Fe 500D /Elongation
Fe 550D Higher Strength with Low Flexibility/Elongation
Even Higher Strength with Very Low
Fe 600D Flexibility/Elongation
 Fe denotes “Iron” and Re-bars Fe
500D is a special grade of TMT Re-
bars manufacture under specific
process conditions resulting in
increased strength as compared to
Fe 415/415D grade TMT Re-bars.
 Fe 500D Re-bars are ideal for
applications in heavy load RCC
structures like flyovers, dams, bridges
and other critical structures where
high yield load (design load) is
required without compromising on the
ductility.
 Fe 500D considered as the best
TMT because it provides the right
mix of strength and flexibility.
