Solutions for Earthquake
Air-cooled Rebar Mesh for RC Structural Plate Members
TATA Steel – All Regions
Generally welded wire meshes produced from cold drawing of wires have high strength but fall behind in ductility parameters such as elongation (%) and UTS/YS ratio compared to TMT bars.
Reduced Beam Sections (RBS)
ArcelorMittal – All Regions
Structural members with long uninterrupted spanning and large loading capacity are needed in the design of tall buildings, convention centres, sport arenas and airport concourses.Rehabilitation and Retrofit of Existing Steel Structures
Nucor Construction Solutions – All Regions
Ferrous metals have been used for structural framing as early as the 1700s, because such materials have been recognised for their strength, stiffness, and economy.
Steel Sheet Piles
Japan Iron and Steel Federation – All Regions
Earthquake resistance measures of embankment structure on liquefying soil foundation
Steel Pipe Sheet Piles & Steel Pipe Piles
Japan Iron and Steel Federation – All Regions
Foundation resistance can be strengthened with steel pipe sheet piles foundation or additional steel pipe piles driving, in order to address bridge scouring control, structure aging renovation, seismic reinforcement and inadequate strength of the foundation caused by expansion of superstructure, etc.
Steel Plate Shear Wall
Nucor Construction Solutions – All Regions
Steel plate shear wall (SPSW) is a lateral force resisting system developed in the 1970s.
Special Moment Frame using Pos-H
POSCO – All Regions
Special Moment Frame have seismic performance at least 80% of the full plastic moment of the beam at 4% of the story drift angle.
Sm@rtFAB through Air-cooled Route
TATA Steel – All Regions
Many reinforced concrete (RC) members (e.
Buckling Restrained Brace
Japan Iron and Steel Federation – All Regions
Buckling Restrained Brace assembled from core axial member and restraining concrete or hollow section maintains stable hysteretic characteristic and absorbs seismic force effectively, and reduces damages of main structural frame.constructsteel is not liable for the solutions and products displayed.
