Prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) is a common variety of large-diameter concrete pressure pipe used for transporting water and wastewater. PCCP is typical manufactured according to the American Water Works Association (AWWA) standard C304. [ 1 ]
Prestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction. It is substantially prestressed during production, in a manner that strengthens it against tensile forces which will exist when in service. [1] [2]: 3–5 [3] It was patented by Eugène Freyssinet in 1928. [4]
In most of the post-tensioned and pre-tensioned prestressed project, smooth steel strand is the most widely used prestressed steel. Stranded strand is mainly used to enhance the project, but also for nuclear power and the like works. Galvanized steel strand commonly used in the bridge of the tie rod, cable and external prestressing works.

In 2023, Welspun Corp's subsidiary, Welspun DI Pipes, was awarded the Kitemark certificate by BSI UK for the size range of 100 to 1,000 DN against EN 545 and ISO 2531 standards. [7] In March 2023, the company acquired Sintex, a water tank manufacturer, for Rs 1251 crores, as part of its strategy to expand its building materials portfolio. [8]
A benefit of pre-topped double tees is a higher quality concrete for more durable surface to reduce traffic wears. Factories can produce the topping with minimum concrete strength of 5,000 psi. In some areas, the strength can be 6,000-8,000 psi. This compares to the field-placed concrete topping with the lower concrete strength of 4,000 psi. [6]
Naturally precompressed exterior wall of Colosseum, Rome Cable-stayed prestressed concrete bridge over Yangtze river. In structural engineering, a prestressed structure is a load-bearing structure whose overall integrity, stability and security depend, primarily, on prestressing: the intentional creation of permanent stresses in the structure for the purpose of improving its performance under ...
