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.

Surface corrosion and pitting corrosion differ in the following ways: Surface Corrosion: Surface corrosion refers to the corrosion that occurs on the surface of a metal, where the metal surface is not deeply eroded or penetrated by corrosion to the extent that it becomes pitted or significantly damaged. Pitting Corrosion: Pitting corrosion is corrosion that develops on the metal surface over an extended period, causing the metal surface to be deeply eroded and penetrated into the metal substrate. This leads to significant damage to the metal, rendering it unsuitable for use. Corrosion Mechanism:When a metal undergoes oxidation or is subjected to reduction, the corrosion process takes place, resulting in the erosion of the metal. Therefore, the primary goal of corrosion prevention is to inhibit the occurrence of oxidation reactions. The most resistant metals to corrosion are those with the highest positive electrode potentials, such as gold. Platinum, silver, and red gold also possess good resistance to corrosion due to their relatively high positive electrode potentials. On the other hand, other metals are more susceptible to oxidation, meaning they are more likely to corrode easily. An example of a commonly encountered and distinct corrosion process is the formation of rust on iron or the creation of iron oxide. Iron corrodes when there is the presence of oxygen and water. The corrosion process of iron is relatively complex and has unique characteristics. However, it is believed to involve critical steps, including: 1. Oxidation reaction occurs at a specific area on the iron surface, acting as the anode. This can be represented by the equation: Fe(s) Fe2+(aq) + 2e-2. Oxygen is reduced at another area of the iron surface, acting as the cathode. In the presence of water, the equation becomes: 2O2(g) + 4H2O(l) + 8e- 8OH-(aq)3. A subsequent reaction involves the formation of iron hydroxide: 4Fe2+(aq) + 8OH-(aq) 4Fe(OH)2(aq) These steps contribute to the formation of iron oxide, commonly known as rust, and the overall corrosion process of iron. It's important to note that the corrosion mechanisms and reactions can vary based on the specific metal, environment, and conditions involved.

Concrete Roads vs. Asphalt Roads: Which is Better? Selecting the right material for road construction is a critical decision that influences performance, longevity, and overall cost. Concrete and asphalt are the two primary options, each with distinct advantages and limitations. The key is to choose the material that best aligns with the intended application and environmental conditions. Asphalt Roads Asphalt roads are known for their flexibility and smooth surface, offering a more comfortable driving experience. However, they are vulnerable to weather conditions, such as extreme heat or heavy rain, which accelerates deterioration. Typically, asphalt roads have an average lifespan of 10–15 years, making them suitable for general use and smaller projects. Advantages • Lower initial construction costs. • Quick construction time; roads can be used immediately after the asphalt is laid. • Simple and fast maintenance using resurfacing techniques (re-paving the road surface). Disadvantages • Faster degradation compared to concrete, particularly in areas with high temperatures or frequent flooding. • High maintenance costs due to the need for frequent repairs. Concrete Roads Concrete roads consist of a mixture of cement, stone, sand, and reinforcement materials such as wire mesh, which enhance strength and durability. With an average lifespan of 20–40 years, concrete roads are ideal for large-scale projects and infrastructure that must withstand heavy loads, such as highways, bridges, and industrial zones. Advantages • Superior strength and durability, capable of handling heavy loads effectively. • Stable and smooth surface, with reduced risk of subsidence over time. • Long-term cost-efficiency due to lower maintenance requirements. Disadvantages • Higher initial construction costs. • Longer construction times, as the concrete must cure and gain strength before use. • Complex and costly maintenance processes for repairs. Deciding between concrete and asphalt roads requires careful consideration of factors such as usage, budget, and environmental conditions. By aligning these factors with the project’s objectives, you can ensure the road meets its intended purpose effectively.
