 What is Common in all these
Buildings ?

All these Buildings (most part) are

STEEL BUILDINGS

Sky City 1000 in Japan -196 floors is in

construction
 Which Metal has maximum
impact on Mankind since the
Civilisation?
 It is the STEEL
Enjoys about 95% of total metal output
globally
It is the backbone of all Industries
The basic ingredient for growth and
development of a country
Linked to the economic cycle of the
country- per capita consumption of steel
indicate growth of Nation
Most Reliable and Environment friendly
 Steel as an
Engineering Material
is of great interest to
Architects
Civil Engineers
Structural Designers
Consultants
Metallurgists and
Project owners / Contractors
Steel has several advantages
High strength to weight ratio
High ductility
Homogeneity
Speed of fabrication
Speed of dismantling
Recyclable
Affordable and
Can be made to adapt to many different
designs
Percent Saving of Steel With
the Use of Fe 500

Singly Reinforced Beams = 20 %

Doubly Reinforced Beams = 25 %
RC Slabs = 15.5 %
RC Columns = 33.3 %
RC Footings = 20 %
Average = 20 % Savings in steel quantity
can be achieved in Normal Buildings
 Economic Benefit of Using
Fe 500 Steel
In Residential Buildings the Normal quantity
of Steel = 4 Tons. (Fe 415)
But If Fe 500 is used the Steel quantity
reduced by 20 % i.e 3.2 Ton steel will be OK.
The Cost of Fe 415 (Local make)
= 4 x Rs.43000 / Ton = Rs.1,72,000
The Cost of Fe 500 (Branded make)
= 3.2 x Rs.54000 /Ton = 1,72,800
Cost Difference = Rs.800 more
JAMSETJI TATA (1839-1904)
A pioneer, a visionary, a seer -
perhaps these adjectives are not
enough to describe a man of such
extraordinary caliber and stature who
has secured a strong foothold in the
map of industrialized nations of the
world.
The creative forces of his genius were
harnessed to cater to the development
of his own land and his dreams arising
out of intense love of humanity.
The same passion, ideals and vision
went a long way in shaping an
outstanding business conglomerate
that, ever since, has been constantly
nourished and nurtured to offer
credence to this one man’s novel
dream, dreamt more than a century
ago.
