The initial images that we have when we consider steel are skyscrapers that are clouds, mega bridges that cross rivers and power plants that are accelerating the progress. Still, somewhere behind the brightness and power of steel, there is a crucial question of how eco-friendly is the production of it? The production of steel is […]
The globe is becoming highly urbanized and Pakistan is not an exception. Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad have now grown to be mega-cities and thus the need to have sustainable infrastructure is at never before. Sky-tallies, freeways, Metro-lines and hydro facilities are transforming cities and cities but all of them are cemented by steel. Here, Kamran […]
Affordable Dreams with Reliant Steel With Pakistan on its way to the dream of affordable housing, the sustainability of the mega projects such as the Naya Pakistan Housing Program (NPHP) will only be successful by the use of materials as powerful as the vision itself. High-quality steel is a basic component of any successful long-term […]
Steel for bridges in Pakistan, That Binds the Nation Together Safety is not an option in major structures such as flyovers, bridges and highways that are elevated. Such structures with huge loads are vibrated, and exposed to weather conditions, and should last decades. It is on these grounds that the decision to select the most […]
Steel is not only a material in the construction industry, it is the foundation of contemporary infrastructure. Since skyscrapers and highways up to hydropower dams and metro, the need of high-strength steel with high reliability remains ever increasing. And yet the steel made is a matter of what you cannot see: the technology of the […]
The modern infrastructure is made of steel. It may be the frame of a tower, the columns of a bridge, or the support of a tunnel, but steel is the strong and durable component. Behind all powerful constructions, there is a path made of raw scrap metal and finished rebars that can resist the highest […]
Consistency in the quality of steel is very important in civil engineering. It could be a bridge, dam, or high rise building, but in any case, an engineer depends on rebars and billets that can be predictable in the context of stress and strain. Small differences in the characteristics of steel can lead to delays, […]
In the modern ever-changing construction and infrastructure environment, engineers are often presented with a project that requires very specific materials, be it a bridge or a high-rise, a tunnel or a hydropower plant. Such projects cannot afford to depend on a generic answer: they demand steel of specific strength, flexibility, ductility, and weldability. By consistently […]
Current civil engineering works rely on the use of steel in terms of strength, flexibility and durability. The stress/strain curve of steel is one of the most important concepts that engineers must learn about. This is a graphical representation of the behaviour of steel under loads, providing information on the yield strength, ductility and ultimate […]
Modern infrastructure is built on steel bars – skyscrapers and motorways, dams, power plants. Though the terms strength and durability are frequently mentioned, there are two other equally important properties of materials: bendability and weldability, which can make the difference between the success and failure of large-scale projects. To contractors and engineers, to select steel […]
