Sm@rtFAB through Air-cooled Route

TATA Steel – India

  • Many reinforced concrete (RC) members (e.g. beams, columns)
    that have been in service for a long time are insufficient in resisting
    earthquakes.
  • In order to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property,
    effective strengthening measures must be taken to improve the seismic resistance of these members. RC members wrapped with welded wire mesh aids in improving the seismic resistance of the overall structure.

Characteristics

  • High-Ductility Welded Wire Mesh for Seismic Retrofitting
    – Tata Steel’s Sm@rtFAB mesh, manufactured via the air-cooled route, offers enhanced ductility suitable for seismic reinforcement applications.
Properties Sm@rtFAB (Air- cooled mesh)
Min. UTS [Ultimate tensile strength] (MPa) 585
Min. YS [Yield strength] (MPa) 550
Min. %age elongation 16%
Weld shear strength ~0.40 times of YS

Applications

  1. Strengthening of RC members in a building
  2. Strengthening of brick walls in a masonry building
