Which grade of TMT steel should I buy?

For standard residential construction in low-to-moderate seismic zones (II–III), Fe500 is adequate. For buildings in high seismic zones (IV–V) or where IS 13920 applies, Fe500D is recommended for its higher ductility. Consult your structural engineer for site-specific requirements.
