Standard Introduction: BS5896 specifies the requirements for high elastic strength steel bars and seven-wire steel strands used in prestressed concrete, and is applicable to building materials provided by manufacturers. The standard clarifies the types, production methods and overall requirements of prestressed steel bars, and has detailed provisions on the geometric characteristics, mechanical characteristics, long-term characteristics and other aspects of steel strands, and gives corresponding inspection methods.
Product specifications and performance:
Structure and specifications: Seven-wire steel strands usually consist of a straight core steel wire and 6 spiral steel wires surrounding it. Common nominal diameters include 9.3mm, 11.0mm, 12.5mm, 15.2mm and other sizes.
Mechanical properties: It has high tensile strength, such as 7-wire standard type steel strands with a nominal diameter of 9.3mm, with a nominal tensile strength of up to 1770N/mm² and a minimum elongation of 3.5% und…
