Corrosion: Prior to shipment from the manufacturer, all wires shall be free from visible corrosion. One § m long wire sample shall be taken from every 10 Mg or portion thereof produced from each heat of steel. The sam- ple wires steel surfaces shall be thoroughly exposed (when coated) and inspected for evidence of corro- sion. If visible corrosion is found, the wire quantity rep- resented by that sample shall be rejected, 3.2.2 Strand Strand used in stay cables shall conform to ASTM AAIGIAZIOM "Standard Specification for Steel Strand, Uncoated Seven-Wire for Prestressed Concrete," and shall be weldiess, low-relaxation grade. 12 COMMENTARY C3.2.2 Strand ‘The frequency of occurrence of welds in wire rod should be limited to one weld per each 500 kg of rod. Low-telaxation grade is recommended because the low- relaxation strand: (1) has proven to have a sound tensile strength throughout the entire length as it has been subject- ‘ed to a near breaking load in the low-relaxation treatment; (Q)has better straightness (cast) for easy cable fabrication. Hot dip galvanized strand has been used on several major cable-stayed bridges outside the US. Galvanized steand is made from either as-galvanized wires (in Japan) or
