  ABSTRACT: This paper proposes a method enabling to compute the prestressing strand resistance using the strain measured on only one core wire. Numerical analysis is conducted considering the pitch length of the strand and the diameters of the core wire and helical wires as parameters. The results verify that the relation between the stresses of the core wire and helical wires can be expressed in terms of the helical angle. Based on this observation, a formula computing directly the prestress force in the strand from the strain measured in the core wire is suggested. Owing to the recently developed measurement method for the core wire strain, the proposed formula can be exploited to determine the prestress of the strand.
