Method for installing and tensioning a freely tensionable tension member and apparatus for carrying out this method

摘要

A process for installing and tensioning a cable, esp for suspension bridges, where the cable consists of a bundle of steel strands surrounded by PE, with end wedges held in an anchoring plate, comprises removing the PE mantle from the strands over the anchoring region. The length of mantle (2a,2b) removed takes into account expansion during tensioning.
