Abstract
The prestressing steel wire, which is applied a tension to reinforce the structure, is applied flexure simultaneously by the duct and the deviator. In order to evaluate the deflected tensile performance of the prestressing steel wire subjected to both tensile and flexural stresses, the numerical analysis for 600 cases with variables of wire diameters, mandrel diameters, and friction coefficient between mandrel and steel wire was performed. As the result of analysis, the larger the diameter of the steel wire was, the lower the deflected tensile performance was, and the effect decreased with the increase of the wire elongation. The effect of mandrel diameter and friction coefficient between mandrel and wire on the deflected tensile performance of the wire was very small. But the deflected tensile performance and the friction coefficient between mandrel and strand showed a relatively high correlation. Therefore, it is necessary to make enough large elongation to secure the deflected tensile performance. If there is a restriction on the elongation, it is necessary to reduce the diameter of the steel wire to an appropriate value, and to increase the friction between steel wires by adjusting the surface condition of the steel wire.
