Tufcon Steel, a steel brand of Sri Langtababa Steel (P) Ltd<\/a> operates mainly in northern and eastern Indian states (like- West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha etc) and Nepal. If you are planning to start construction in these areas, then you should carefully choose the steel brand. Because 54% of the Indian land is defenceless against earthquakes.
According to IS 1893 (Part 1) 2002 India is divided into 5 seismic zones based on the seismicity. These eastern Indian states come under seismic zone<\/a> 4 among the 5 seismic zones in India. This zone 4 is High Damage Risk Zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In modern RCC construction steel works as a bone in the body. For seismic zones you have to see the strength of the steel apart from ductility. A ductile steel will resist better against earthquake shocks than normal steel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

500D grade steel has a strength of resist against the force of 500N\/mm2 along with extended feature of ductility. Now you may say that why not opt for 550D or 600D grade steel. Before I clary this confusion just look at points mentioned below<\/p>\n\n\n\n
