Innovation bridges the gap between human needs and the real problems on their way. Be it the 1993 earthquake in Latur-Maharashtra or Kathmandu disaster in 2015, destruction and displacement left millions homeless. While the construction industry relentlessly innovates to mitigate threats like floods, landslides, and earthquakes that leave no stone unturned in their path of massive destruction, the solution lies in design planning and implementing technology that minimizes risks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the innovative methods that assist in absorbing earthquake, energy is damping, cross braces, structural steel, and lead-rubber bearings. Combining foolproof material and methods can be the secret to making a building earthquake-proof.

Strong Foundation<\/b><\/p>\n

What can keep a building safe to a large extent is a strong foundation. Piling is a common technology used to build a sturdy base for any construction.

Base Isolation<\/b><\/p>\n

This technology allows a building to float above its foundation on a system of springs, bearings, or padded cylinders. Lead-rubber bearings are engineers\u2019 pick because the lead core absorbs vertical energy while the rubber and steel outer layers reduce the risk from lateral movements. When an earthquake hits, the bearing attached with steel plates helps the building\u2019s foundation to move, minimizing damages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Structural Steel<\/b><\/p>\n

Ductility makes construction flexible. Buildings that use steel-reinforced concrete have a better capacity to withstand external thrust and bend considerably without breaking. At VRKP, our steel TMT bars are highly ductile, and are strong at welded joints, making them one of the most trusted brands for commercial and home constructions in the southern market. <\/span><\/p>\n

Damping Systems<\/b><\/p>\n

An effective way to absorb abnormal energy is to install damping systems. Active mass damping consists of mounting heavy mass on top of buildings and connecting it to viscous dampers, which act as shock absorbers. The opposite movement of the mass mounted on top reduces the magnitude of vibrations.<\/span><\/p>\n

We believe in delivering the best material for the safety of our valuable customers. With a legacy of over 30 years, we have been serving the construction industry with high-quality steel bars.
