Prestressed Concrete Steel Strand
PC strand consists of wires spun together in the same direction and with the same lay length. The PC strand product contains 2-wire, 3-wire and 7-wire strands. Low relaxation PC strand can be used for either prestressing or post-tensioning of concrete.
Feature: Low relaxation, High Tensile Strength.
Construction: 1*2,1*3 and 1*7 wires
PC Strand is fundamental in both Pre-tensioning and Post-tensioning methods:
- Pre-tensioning: Strands are tensioned in a casting bed before concrete is poured. Once concrete gains sufficient strength, strands are cut, transferring prestress via bond. Common in precast elements:
- Hollow-core slabs
- Double-Tees
- Beams & Girders
- Railroad ties (sleepers)
- Piles
- Post-tensioning (PT): Strands are placed in ducts or sheathing within the concrete formwork. After concrete hardens, strands are tensioned and anchored against the concrete, transferring prestress. Used in:
- Bridges (girders, decks, segmental)
- Building floors (slabs, transfer beams)
- Parking structures
- Nuclear containment vessels
- Water tanks & reservoirs
- Offshore platforms
- Rock & soil anchors
Prestressed concrete strand (PC strand) is a high-grade, low-relaxation, 7-strand steel cord used in the reinforcement and strengthening of pre-stressed concrete structures. Because it is used in critical applications, this strand consists of high-carbon steel with a high tensile strength, manufactured to the highest quality standards to ensure its durability. PC strand is available in several different thicknesses, ranging between .25 inches and .6 inches in diameter.
