In pre-stressing work, if more than one wire or strand is included in the same duct, why should all wires/strands be stressed at the same time?

If wires supports are stressed individually inside the similar duct, then those stressed strand will allow against those unstressed ones and trap them.

If wires/strands are stressed individually inside the same duct, then those stressed strand/wires will bear against those unstressed ones and trap them.

Therefore, the friction of the trapped wires is high and is undesirable.

Agree with both answers given by Mr.Alex and Mr. Shakeel
