FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the
Concrete Reinforcement Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.

With the development of prestressed concrete technology and its successful application in the field of
construction, it became necessary to use prestressing tendons capable of developing and retaining large
concentrated prestressing forces. This led to the development of stress relieved strand. Low relaxation
strand is further improvement in this field.

The low relaxation property is achieved by a process called ‘stabilising’. This is essentially a hot stretching
process, in which prestressing strand is subjected to a pre-determined tension during stress-relieving heat
treatment. This results in linear hardening of the steel which substantially increases the resistance to creep
and thereby reduces the relaxation losses.

The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given at Annex A.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final
value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (rev&d)‘. The number of significant places
retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
