 Laxmi Steels (P) Ltd.
This group has manufactured Ultra 53 grade
cement, which is specially designed for construction of
heavily stressed concrete structures like larger
hydropower, irrigation, housing and other construction
projects.

However, the market lacked a similar high quality

steel which could be used in conjunction with Ultra 53
grade cement. Hence, Laxmi Steels (P) Ltd has been
established by Saurabh Group, to produce high

General Problems in Steel Rebar
Breaking
Bending a Fe-500 grade bar should be carried out very slowly, not with a jerk.
Cracking
Rusting
Dust in the rebar, storage in moist place.
The amount of Carbon content in steel has been a major deciding factor for engineers
as a minimum level of carbon content is essential in steel to achieve the required
strength. At the same time, excess carbon content threatens its property of
weldability.
Designers/ Engineers should accept TMT Bars only after proper testing &
verification of the same irrespective of the name of the brand/ manufacturer.
COMMON CAUSES OF FAILURE OF STRUCTURE
Use of steel made from scrap billet
Failure due to corrosion reinforcements bars
Failure due to inadequate bond between concrete and re-bars
Poor quality of construction Materials used.

Improper planning and design

Lack of supervision and poor workmanship
Lack of elementary precautions on earthquake measures
Violations of national and local building rules and regulations

So, beware of fake TMT Bars and follow the national buildings codes in construction with the help of
experienced technicians. Earthquake resistant construction is less expensive than re-construction after disaster.
We can change color, tiles and bathroom fittings of the house, but not steel that has been already been used.
