Plain PC Wire, also called plain surface PC steel wire or smooth PC wire, is a traditional type of PC wire. The surface of plain PC wire is smooth, without ribs, not indented. Plain PC wire has the advantages of low relaxation and high tensile strength. Therefore it is considered as the desirable steel material used in large-load, long-span PC structures, such as PC bridge, PC sleeper, PC pipe and large-span sloping rope bridge. What's more, it does not have an explicit yield point, so users can cut it to the appropriate length as needed.
