018.PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
TBM-REINFORCEMENT is manufactured from high tensile silica fibre made from very fine strands of glass which is coated with high modulus proprietary alkaline resistant chemical & is designed for bonding & strengthening AAC Block Masonry work.
TBM- REINFORCEMENT lies flat on the masonry mortar surface making the product easy to install. Although TBM- Reinforcement cannot be used structurally, test work carried out has shown its use contributes significantly to enhance the strength of masonry by absorbing tensile stresses which can develop in masonry construction.
019. A building project holds many challenges. Controlling cracking in masonry is one of them.
> Thin Bed-Joint Reinforcement is a proven method to control AAC Block Masonry cracks.
> It enhances the durability and safety of construction and ensures Longer lifetime.
> TBM -Reinforcement creates an engineered reinforcement that will help you control the crack formation and make more inspiring designs which are better able to withstand the forces of nature.
020. BUILDING WITHOUT COMPROMISE
> As an architect or designer, you sometimes have to sacrifice your freedom for the strength of your construction.
> TBM- REINFORCEMENT enhances your freedom of design and reconciles the competing interests of aesthetics and performance.
021. IN FULL CONTROL OF YOUR MASONRY
> As a construction material, masonry has good compressive strength properties but is weak in tension.
> Reinforcing your masonry with TBM -Reinforcement, however, provides additional strength and flexibility and give you full control is design and performance of your work.
022. THE SAFE CHOICE
> Building in seismic areas can be changing. As a construction professional, it can be hard to prepare for earthquakes or heavy winds.
> TBM- REINFORCEMENT is a smart and economical way to protect building subject to high wind conditions and in seismic areas.

023. KEY FEATURES
> Bonds and strengthens corners and wall intersections.
> Resists cracking in areas of uneven settlement.
> Bonds wall to reinforced concrete frames.
> Safe to handle, easy to cut on site.
> Control crack formation more efficiently.
> Exploring new structural possibilities without compromise.
> Safeguarding your investment in seismic areas.
> Greatly reduces cracking that can arise from thermal stresses.
> Enhances resistance to water penetration, as cracks are controlled.
> Increase performance of masonry walls under various stresses.
> UV resistance.
> High tensile strength than steel as compared to the weight ratio.
> Alkali resistance.
> Rust & corrosion proof.
> Fire resistant.
> Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic.
> Zero wastage.
> Easy to carry due to lightweight.

INSPIRATION OF INVENTION:
Autoclave aerated concrete block masonry with Thin bed mortar have good compressive strength but no tensile characteristics.
AAC block has only one disadvantage of shrinkage characteristics because of it cracking take place in AAC block masonry do with thin bed mortar. Using of TBM - Reinforcement, it gives the tensile property to masonry and also helpful to restrict crack formation and provide protection to masonry during seismic-wind.
No other reinforcement gives this much tensile strength compared to the cost, thickness and weight of TBM - Reinforcement.
Its corrosion free, alkaline resistance, lightweight, easy to apply, etc.

AAC blocks are eco-friendly as they are lightweight hence they help in saving structural steel. They possess good compressive strength. AAC block masonry done with thin bed mortar or thin joint mortar has higher compressive strength than AAC blocks.
TBM- Reinforcement is physically lightweight and thin. It has excellent tensile strength & alkaline resistance which helps in controlling the crack formation.
TBM- Reinforcement is manufactured from high tensile silica fibre strands of glass which is specially coated with high modulus proprietary alkaline resistant chemical. It has been designed for bonding and strengthening the AAC block masonry work.
APPLICATION:
Between the surfaces of two AAC blocks acting as a horizontal reinforcement. Initially, the mortar is applied to the AAC block. Secondly, the TBM- Reinforcement is placed on the mortar. Lastly, the other layer of block with mortar applied is placed.
ADVANTAGES:
> It is a unique product that increases the tensile strength of the AAC block masonry wall.
> It is lightweight, and the thickness is very less.
> It is cost effective.
> It is the only effective product that delivers the result in the AAC block masonry with thin joint mortar.
