Steel Strands
 PC Strand, or prestressed concrete steel strand, is a twisted steel cable composed of
2, 3, 7 or 19 high strength steel wires and is stress-relieved (stabilized) for
prestressed concrete or similar purposes.
Applications
 The steel materials used to create industrial strands conducts electricity extremely well, so
these are often used in underground electrical lines. The robust steel wires are rated for high-
voltage transmissions while reducing energy loss. Furthermore, they are durable and can
withstand wear and tear, as well as the impact of volatile weather.
 Again, either 1×7 or 1×19 industrial strand may be used in this instance, depending on the
intended purpose. Generally, a 1×7 may be more common, as this will result in a stiffer wire
that is easier to thread through underground openings.
 Some industrial strands are also used for electric train transportation. These resilient strands
serve two purposes: support and transmission. The industrial strands create strong, durable
cables that electrical trains run along. The steel material also transmits electricity quite
efficiently, powering high-speed trains along the track.
 Buildings and Bridges
 Perhaps the most common application of industrial steel strands is for construction
purposes. Longer sturdy strands are used to supports tons of weight in both bridges and
multi-story buildings.
 Steel strands are used along with concrete, steel beams, and reinforced bars to stabilize
multi-story structures. Industrial strands are used within the flooring and ceilings to provide
additional support and secure beams together.
 These strands are also designed to provide extra stability in earthquakes. This is because
steel helps to diffuse vibrates, so the movement from the earthquake travels along the
strands. This helps to stabilize the building, preventing structures from collapsing.
 Steel strands are also widely used in suspension bridges, which rely on wires to connect the
bridge’s deck to the support beams. Both 1×7 and 1×19 industrial cables are used in bridges
for different purposes. These wires help to evenly distribute weight across the entire bridge,
providing added stability and reducing sway.
Types of Steel Strands
 Unbonded Steel Strands
 Bonded Steel Strands
 Spiral Ribbed Steel Strands
 Indented Steel Strands
 Multistrand Steel Strands
 Coated Steel Strands
 Prestressed Steel Strands
Unbonded Steel Strands
 Most uses for unbonded steel strands involve post-tensioning because
they are adaptable steels. The steel strand in use can separate from the
concrete thanks to anti-corrosion grease and polyethylene plastic,
allowing the steel strand to move freely in the layer and making the
construction more convenient. The friction between unbonded PC strand
tendons is minimal and easily bendable into various curved shapes.
 Not to mention, they are made of high-strength steel wire coated in a
corrosion-preventing substance. Due to its strong bonding properties,
this steel strand is appropriate for unique structures such as cast-in-place
concrete floors, heavy precast beam loads, massive concrete
constructions like bridges, and high-rise buildings.
Bonded Steel Strands
 High tensile strength, firm connection with concrete, stable construction and good combination
with steel-reinforced concrete are all bonded PC Strand or bonded steel strand characteristics.
It also saves material, reduces distortion and construction weight, and increases stiffness,
abrasion, and water resistance. Precast concrete elements like beams and columns are normally
built using bonded steel strands, sometimes called fully anchored steel strands. This steel
strand is also used in large structures because of its strength, toughness, and great bonding
properties
Spiral Ribbed Steel Strands
 One of the classic forms of steel strands is the spiral ribbed steel strand. Regarding strength
and endurance, spiral ribbed steel strands are comparable to bonded steel strands and are
utilized in precast concrete components. The steel wire’s surface features a spiral ribbed
design, which makes a difference. This distinctive design has better adhesion to the concrete,
making it an excellent option for construction under stress. Additionally, it is frequently used
in water pipes, hollow slabs, and telegraph poles.
Indented Steel Strands
 Indented steel strands resemble spiral ribbed steel strands in terms of surface texture. However,
they are constructed from a single steel wire instead of numerous wires. Because of its high
strength and longevity, this steel strand is frequently used to manufacture precast concrete
parts like beams and columns. It has many uses in numerous industries, including construction,
hollow slabs, and high-speed railway sleepers.
Multistrand Steel Strands
The tiny steel wires that make up multistrand steel strands are twisted
together to create a single strand. Due to its strength and flexibility, this
steel strand is perfect for precast concrete components like beams and
columns. In contrast to other steel strands, Multistrand steel strands are
reasonably simple to bend, making them an excellent option for use in
curved or oddly shaped buildings.
Coated Steel Strands
 In terms of elasticity, coated steel strands are comparable to unbonded steel strands, but they
include a protective coating to fend off corrosion. This steel strand has better bonding qualities
and weather resistance, making it perfect for post-tensioning applications
Prestressed Steel Strands
 In terms of strength and durability, pre-stressed steel strands are comparable to bonded steel
strands; however, they are pre-stressed to increase the strength and stability of the concrete
construction. This kind of steel strand is well known for its capacity to withstand high-stress
levels and is frequently used in the building of precast concrete parts, such as beams and
columns
