But over the centuries, engineers have also come to know one thing with growing certainty that earthquakes don't kill people but buildings do and with continuous jostling and tumbling of plates underneath the earth’s belly our structures faces daily onslaught of such tremors which eventually weakens our basic foundation. Most concerning part is that this is not visible through our naked eyes and when we do realize the importance of earth quake resistant structures it is often too late. The ongoing debate that whether structures/housing in Non Seismic Zone should be build using earthquake resistant design & material has been lately adopted as a procedure across the world by leading architects and structural engineers. One of the most important elements, which safeguard your structure against tremors and acts as a backbone, is quality of RCC used in the building. Across the world standards have been redefined and adopted as far as usage of REBARS is concerned in RCC as it plays the most vital role in preventing a building collapsein case of any eventuality. It is very important that your builder or you have use or recommend rebars, which have adequate tensile strength, ductility, concrete bonding along with uniform elongation and should also exhibits minimum value of sulphur and phosphorus. Just having TMT bars written along with brand name is not enough,but one has to make sure that whether QUENCH & TEMPERED process has been dually followed or not while manufacturing the same. Market is full of scrupulous TMT bars brand, which though have properties of a FE 415 grade rebar and still present their product at par with earthquake resistant REABRS. One should be very careful with such products and always ask for appropriate Test Certificates before using it. So next time either you are building a house or buying one or recommending one it is your duty to make sure that Steel used in construction is of earthquake resistant grade and REBARS are made through QT process and should have appropriate test certificates for its certification.
