To accommodate the needs of the world’s largest population, India must increasingly rely on vertical urban growth and robust infrastructure. Super-ductile (SD) steel bars are emerging as a cost-effective solution to achieve these goals, optimising savings without compromising safety. Super-ductile steel bars are available in higher grades, resulting in a reduction in the amount of steel required, significantly lowering material costs, especially for high-rise buildings. Their property of super-ductility minimises the loss of lives and reduces structural damage in the event of a seismic occurrence. Their performance under dynamic loads makes them an ideal choice for infrastructure projects such as metros and flyovers. Additionally, super-ductile bars have improved corrosion resistance, extending their durability and decreasing maintenance expenses, especially in polluted or coastal environments. In the present webinar, the speaker will discuss the properties of super-ductile bars and how to harness their various advantages in the construction industry.
