Jagdamba Steel is the leading & the largest steel manufacturer in Nepal.

It
manufactures a wide range of steel products and its easy availability is ensured all
over Nepal through more than 1,500 retail outlets.
To ensure superior quality of Steel Rebars, modern automated manufacturing
systems, process and use of superior grade quality raw materials is the hall mark
of Jagdamba Steel Rebars and other steel products. This does not only act as the
bench mark standard for the steel products in Nepal, in fact Jagdamba Steel is the
“Standard” itself for others to follow.

Jagdamba E, The Earthquake Resistant Rebar

Since Nepal is located in Earthquake prone Zone, to address this concern in the safety of
construction, after a exhaustive research and with over 20 years of experience in manufacturing
high quality Steel Rebars, Jagdamba Steel presents Jagdamba E Steel Rebar. Jagdamba E is a Fe 500
Grade Earthquake Resistant Steel Rebar. It is the first and only of its kind of superior Steel Rebar
available in Nepal and specially made for applications in earthquake resistant constructions.
Jagdamba E Rebars conforms to Fe-500 Grade quality as per Nepal Bureau of Standards
and Metrology, NS:191 Certification and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), ISI Certification
IS:1786:2008 and Newzealand Standards.
Jadgamba E is highly recommended for applications in earthquake resistant constructions, be
it home, commercial building or infrastructure projects. Since Nepal is highly prone to seismic
risks, application of Jagdamba E Steel Rebar can help minimize the risks like damage to the RCC
structures and thereby help save lives in case of an Earthquake due to its resistant features.

Features of Jagdamba E
Jagdamba E is manufactured from prime billets in state of the art completly automated modern plant.
The Rebars are Thermo Mechanically Treated (TMT), to offer better strength in addition to better
ductility to make it resistant to seismic conditions. Additionally Jagdamba E comes with the expertise
in product innovation from Jagdamba Steels Pvt. Ltd, pioneer and No 1 Steel producer in Nepal.

Controlled Process
Superior quality in Jagdamba E Rebar is assured through high adherence to the following
controlled process in during the manufacturing;

• Controlled Raw Materials

To ensure high quality in end product, the raw materials undergo stringent chemical and
physical tests. The controlled process through quality assessment of raw materials ensures
adherence to the quality standards and consistency in quality of every single Rebar
manufactured.

• Controlled Production Process

Jagdamba E Rebars are manufactured in the state of the art completely automated plant, the
only one in Nepal. The automation ensures consistency in physical quality like Uniform Ribs,
Uniform Lengths etc. Further the Rebars produced undergo stringent chemical and physical
testing at the state of the art completely computerized labs. This ensures instant results and
faster intervention and reliability in the quality assurance.

• Controlled Parameters
Maintenance and consistency of physical and chemical parameters is highly important to
ensure superior quality of Rebars. This is ensured through the application of automated
systems in production, thermo mechanical treatment, physical and chemical testing. The
parameters are stringently controlled and maintained as per the minimum and maximum
standards outlined by Indian BIS, IS: 1786:2008 Certification Standards and NS 191, Nepal
Bureau of Standards and Metrology Certification Standards.

Superior Fatigue Strength

Since the fatigue strength of reinforced
concrete is highly dependent on the
fatigue strength of the Rebar, Jagdamba
E has superior fatigue resistance
compared to normal Rebars. It is highly
recommended for cyclic loads such as
heating & cooling cycle, repetitive inward
loads and multi loads.

Superior Raw Material

Jagdamba E Rebars are made from prime
billets imported from leading companies
like Jindal Steel, SAIL India and TATA Steel.
High quality of raw materials also ensures
that the Rebars are of high grade quality.

Better Ductility, Earthquake Resistant

Jagdamba E compared to other normal Steel Rebars available in Nepal comes with better ductility.
Better ductility means better elongation in case of stress conditions, like in case of an earthquake,
there by offering better stability to the structure and resistance to the damage.
Jagdamba E offers 20% more elongation compared to other normal Steel Rebars. The strength
and ductility of Jagdamba E Rebars exceed the minimum level specified by NS, IS and other
International Standards.

Superior RIB Pattern

Jagdamba E Rebars have a superior 60 degree and uniform rib pattern with greater depth and
closer rib spacing which is assured through computer controlled CNC grade machine. Superior
Rib Pattern ensures better bonding of Rebars with the concrete reinforcement.

Bendability
Due to its better ductility,
elongation, tough outer surface and
soft inner core Jagdamba E Rebar
is easily bendable and without any
risk of cracks or breakage.

Superior Weldability
Jagdamba E Rebars have a low
carbon content which gives
it superior weldability in case
required. Also, no pre warming and post welding is required in case of manual arc welding. The
Rebar can be butt welded and as well lap welded.

Quality Consistency & Assurance

The raw material billets and Rebars manufactured undergo stringent chemical and physical
testing at the state of the art completely computerized labs. This ensures instant results and
faster intervention in the quality control process and enhanced reliability.
