MEASURES FOR STORAGE

Some of the measures have to be taken during the use of

prestressing concrete steel:

• Prestressing concrete steel is sensitive against intensive

heat sources. Internal structure and mechanical features of

steel may be changed if it is exposed to intensive heating.

• Loading and discharging have to be made in minimum

amounts and corrosion and pressure have to be avoided in

order not to change mechanical features.

• Coils have to be stowed over ground level and they have

to be covered in a way that they allow a good air circulation

in order to avoid condensation.

WHAT IS PRESTRESSING?

Prestressing is to apply constant stress artificially to

structural components before applying external loads.

For the prestressing concrete wires and strands in

various dimensions, types and resistances, which are

produced exclusively, are used.

Prestressing concrete steel elements are produced by

taking stress from high carbon special wire rods with

vanadium alloys after a distinct load and a regular

patenting treatment.

In prestressed concrete structures the prestressing

applied initially is decreasing in time due to warping and

creep of concrete and relaxation of prestressing steels.

Therefore, the characteristics of the steel defined as steel

relaxation under constant length or loss of stress is one

of the important parameters taking into consideration in

designing of prestressed concrete structures.

Advantages of the products with lower relaxation:

• More tensile and yield strenghts.

• Super durability against fatigue and corrosion.

• Consistent load elongation relation.

• Super straightening feature.

QUALITY

Our products are tested under the latest technology standards by our highly qualified and experienced experts to provide durability, elongation and relaxation features according to the parameters of international standards.

PC STRAND

Çelik Halat ve Tel Sanayi A.Ş. started

producing PC Strand in 1986 as the first

mover in Turkey. With new projects and

investments; our company intends to extend

its domestic market leadership to overseas.

PC strand with 7 strands that are used in

the areas such as bridge girder production,

prefabricated construction elements,

ground and mine anchorages, nuclear

power stations, silo constructions, housing

constructions are produced according to the

ASTM, BS, EN, TSE ve JIS standards.

Primary advantages provided by PC Strand:

• Having high tensile strength.

• Potential great prestressing in small edges.

• Less need for anchorage and application

labor.
