SHEATHING LOCK END CAP

摘要

A post-tensioning tendon may include a tension member including a strand and sheath, the sheath having an outer surface. The post-tensioning tendon may also include an anchor coupled to an end of the tension member, the anchor including a tubular extension through which the tension member is passed. The tubular extension may have an engaging surface. The post-tensioning tendon may additionally include a sheathing retention assembly. The sheathing retention assembly may include an outer cap, the outer cap having a forcing surface. The outer cap may be coupled to the tubular extension. The sheathing retention assembly also may include one or more holding elements positioned at least partially within the outer cap. The one or more holding elements may each have a tapered outer surface abutting the forcing surface. The one or more holding elements each may include an inner surface that engages the outer surface of the sheath.
