PC Pipe (PCP; Prestressed Concrete Pipe)
PC pipe is a representative pressure pipe. By winding pre-tensioned steel wire over a concrete core in cylindrical direction, PC pipes can resist higher internal/external pressures than reinforced concrete pipes. PC pipes are more economical than PCC pipes because the steel pipe is not used for core.
