What is Fatigue?

01-07-2025

What is "Fatigue"?Why Must Strong Structures Pass This Test?In engineering, a material being strong doesn’t always mean it’s durable.What’s more challenging than tensile strength is repeated loading, also known as Fatigue.What is Fatigue?Fatigue is the weakening of a material caused by repeated loading and unloading.For example, steel wires used in prestressed concrete, piles, or bridges may not break from a single force.But after tens or hundreds of thousands of repeated stresses, the material becomes "fatigued" — and can fail without warning.Examples of Fatigue-Related Failures:Bridge cables snapping after just a few years of useStructural collapse due to continuous vibrationsDamage invisible to the naked eyeWhy Perform Fatigue Testing at SIW-Testing Service Center?1. Internationally Certified StandardsSIW operates the only wire testing lab in Thailand certified for Fatigue Testing by NATA (Australia’s national lab accreditation body).This guarantees that all equipment and processes meet strict international standards.2. Real Testing — Beyond TheoryWe simulate repeated stress cycles to determine how many times your wire can withstand force before failure.You’ll receive detailed reports with clear graphs, backed by advanced tools and expert analysis.3. Supporting Nation-Level ConstructionSIW supports major infrastructure projects—expressways, bridges, rail systems—where high-performance wire is critical.Fatigue testing is a key step before the wire is ever used in the field.

How Is PC Wire Used Differently in Post-Tension vs Pre-Tension Systems?

06-06-2025

How Is PC Wire Used Differently in Post-Tension vs Pre-Tension Systems?PC Wire (Prestressed Concrete Wire) is a crucial material used to strengthen prestressed concrete. It is commonly applied in two major systems: Pre-tension and Post-tension. While they use similar materials, the method of application and the advantages of each system are distinctly different. Let’s explore the differences🔹 Pre-Tension (Before Concrete Pouring)In this system, PC Wire is tensioned before the concrete is poured into the mold. Once the wire is stretched to the required force, concrete is poured over it. After the concrete sets and gains strength, the tension is released, and the wire tries to return to its original state, which compresses the concrete.Ideal for: Factory-made precast elements such as floor planks, hollow-core slabs, and concrete beamsAdvantages: Quality can be easily controlled in a factory settingLimitations: Requires large formwork and transportation of finished components to the site🔹Post-Tension (After Concrete Pouring)In this method, ducts or sheaths are placed inside the formwork before concrete pouring. Once the concrete is cured, PC Wire is threaded through the ducts, then tensioned and anchored at both ends. Finally, the ducts are filled with grout to protect the steel and bond it to the concrete.Ideal for: Large-scale projects such as high-rise buildings, bridges, and flat slab systemsAdvantages: More design flexibility, thinner structural elements, material efficiencyLimitations: Requires skilled labor and strict on-site quality control*Both systems have unique strengths and trade-offs. Choosing the right one depends on project type, budget, and engineering requirements.At SIW, we manufacture high-quality PC Wire for prestressed concrete applications in both pre-tension and post-tension systems. Our products are certified with TIS standards and trusted in over 70 countries worldwide.hashtag#SIW hashtag#PCwire hashtag#posttension hashtag#pretension

Special Grade Earthquake-Resistant PC Strand

26-05-2025

Special Grade Earthquake-Resistant PC Strand - "A Safety Standard for Life Beyond Strength"In an earthquake situation, the very seconds when a structure begins to fail can determine life or death. Therefore, designing structures to delay "Collapse" becomes a critical factor in ensuring enough time for safe evacuation.At Siam Industrial Wire (SIW), we place great emphasis on every mechanical property of PC Strand, recognizing its importance as a key component in civil engineering design. Our special earthquake-resistant PC Strand is developed with a higher "Force Ratio" than standard products.• Force Ratio (the ratio between Breaking Load and Yield Load) in SIW’s PC Strand is higher than standard grades, meaning the steel does not fail immediately after reaching its yield point.• This allows the structure to withstand seismic forces longer, effectively "delaying" Collapse and giving occupants valuable time to evacuate safely.• Additionally, the increased "Plastic Deformation" of steel enabled by the high Force Ratio makes the product suitable for plasticity-based structural design, which emphasizes "Ductile Behavior".• And when exposed to seismic forces, this ductility causes serious and visible "Cracking" before total collapse occurs, serving as a warning sign that allows for timely intervention or evacuation.• It also helps reduce the risk of Nature Abrupt or sudden Collapse as plasticity-based design lowers the chance of instant concrete brittle failure — which in turn increases the likelihood of survival and reduces potential loss.SIW manufactures and exports special-grade PC Strand with a higher Force Ratio than standard requirements to Denmark, conforming to FprEN 10138-1&-3:2009 standards. These products are certified with the FI Marking of Denmark.At SIW, we are deeply aware of the impacts of natural disasters and the value of every life.

Gen Y leadership shaping the future of organizations

15-01-2025

Gen Y leadership shaping the future of organizations Naphitset Chainapong, Head of Section-Demand and Market Planning, who plays a key role in driving organizational success. “Growing up in the middle of Gen Y, I’ve witnessed the rapid evolution of technology, transitioning from the analog era to the fully digital age we live in today. This experience has shaped my mindset and serves as a fundamental basis for how I approach my work to this day. In my perspective, the transition to digital is no longer an option but a necessity. I clearly remember when I started working at SIW, we relied heavily on paper documents, and at times, the piles of paperwork were almost impossible to manage. But today, we’ve seen a significant difference. Many documents no longer need to be printed, and they have been fully integrated into a digital system. Additionally, we now use various software tools to analyze statistical data, helping us identify market demands and study consumer behavior quickly and more accurately. The result is more precise decision-making, allowing us to better meet our customers’ needs. Another equally important and trending topic is sustainability. In my perspective, it’s not just a fancy phrase but a global responsibility that every organization should prioritize. SIW has continuously developed sustainability strategies, such as controlling carbon emissions, initiating the "1 Rai Farm" project, and organizing CSR activities that foster collaboration with local communities. We’ve always believed that growth must come with a sense of responsibility toward both our communities and the world. As a Gen Y, I believe SIW benefits from the generation gap, gaining fresh ideas from younger team members and valuable experience from senior colleagues. An organization’s success doesn’t depend on one individual but comes from the synergy of all generations working together to innovate while preserving the past and continuing to develop sustainably. And finally, I believe that working in this rapidly changing era requires flexibility, open-mindedness, and collaboration from everyone. With our collective dedication, I am confident that SIW will overcome every challenge and continue to grow steadily in an ever-changing world.”
