Pre-stressed concrete steel strands (pc strands)
Product Overview
- It is a 7-wire steel strand produced from hot-rolled, high-carbon steel wire rods, which, after cleaning and descaling, is drawn into wire, fabricated into a multi-wire strand, and thermally stress-relieved.
- Used to "pre-stress" concrete structural members to improve their ability to withstand loads.
- Can be dry or oiled as per the customer's requirements.
Product Applications
Commercial buildings, bridges and tunnels, tanks and silos,
parking buildings.
Advantages of Pre-stressed Slabs
- Larger slab spans allow fewer columns.
- Savings in materials (concrete and steel) and shorter lead times due to fast installation.
- Significant reduction in building weight versus a conventional concrete building.
- Reducing the occurrence of cracks
- Allowing extremely long-span bridges to be constructed without the use of temporary intermediate supports. This minimizes the impact on the environment and avoids
disruption to water or road traffic below
