Prestressed or post tensioned concrete is a method for overcoming concrete's natural weakness in tension. It can be used to produce beams, floors
or bridges with a longer span than is practical with ordinary reinforced concrete.
Prestressing is where the steel wire or strand is tensioned before the concrete is poured. Once the concrete has cured, the wire or strand are released putting the concrete into compression. Prestressing wire and strand are used in the manufacture of precast concrete T beams for beam and block concrete floors, precast concrete hollow core, solid slabs, railway sleepers and prefabricated buildings.
Post tensioning is where the strand is tensioned after the concrete has been poured. After the concrete has set, the strand is then tensioned and secured. Post tensioning strand is used in floor slabs for multi storey buildings, nuclear containment vessels, water tanks, natural gas tanks and many other concrete structures.
All Wire is manufactured to BS5896:2012 or any other internationally recognized standard.
Coil Weight and Dimensions – Wire is usually supplied in coil weights of approx. 2.3T. Strand is usually supplied in coil weights of approx. 3T.
Other coil weights are available on request.
All material is supplied wrapped unless otherwise requested.
The modulus of elasticity may be taken as 205 kN/mm2 for wire and 195 kN.mm2 for strand
The permitted deviation on weight per metre is +/- 2%
With over 30 years experience we have a unique understanding of the use of pre-stressing wire and strand. We are happy to share this experience with our customers. If you need any help or advice just ask.
We have developed our own unique design of strand dispenser which helps to prevent
tangling of strand during dispensing. Please ask for more detail.
