PC Strand (Prestressed Concrete Strand) is a high-strength steel cable composed of multiple cold-drawn wires helically wound together. It is primarily used in prestressed concrete structures to enhance load-bearing capacity, reduce cracking, and improve durability.
Key Features:
High Tensile Strength: Typically ranges from 1,860 MPa to 2,160 MPa, making it ideal for heavy-load applications.
Excellent Bonding Properties: The twisted structure ensures strong adhesion to concrete.
Corrosion Resistance: Often available in galvanized or epoxy-coated variants for harsh environments.
Flexibility & Durability: Withstands high stress and long-term deformation.
Common Applications:
Bridges & Highways (Pre-tensioned and post-tensioned structures)
Buildings & Slabs (Industrial floors, parking structures)
Railway Sleepers & Nuclear Containments
Marine & Offshore Structures
