  The use of TMT reinforced bars have improved the quality of building construction to a great extent. The most significant aspect of TMT reinforced bars, popularly known as TMT rebars, is the ribs on their surface. It provides the necessary anchorage when used in structures and prevents the slippage of concrete from the bars. As a result, the strength of the structure increases manifold. TMT rebars are currently being used in building construction, especially in areas that fall under risky zones in terms of the possibility of earthquakes. There has been an increase in the demand for building materials that can contribute to the construction of earthquake-resistant structures. It is as since the beginning of the last decade, construction activity has significantly increased in high-risk earthquake zones. Earlier, construction in such regions was quite limited. Today, the government has undertaken several developmental projects to increase the quality of life of the people resi...
