Wires are produced through the cold-drawn process on steel rods.
Typically, the
diameter of wires varies from 5mm to 7mm, with tensile strength between 1570MPa
and 1860MPa.
Either galvanised
or ungalvanized wires can be used for prestressing.
The use of
individual wires in pre-tensioned beam is replaced by strands that gives better
bond characteristics.
