PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an anchorage system including a composite tendon comprising an assembly of elongate elements held together, and an anchor head including a casing.SOLUTION: Individual elongate elements 4, 5 are separated from each other at one end extending into the anchor head. An anchor head casing 6 is filled with an adhesive medium 10 to secure the separated elements. A method for installing the anchorage system includes the steps of: inserting in a borehole 20 at least one composite tendon 2 comprising the assembly of elongate elements held together; separating the individual elongate elements from each other over a predetermined anchor head length 22; placing the anchor head casing around the separated elements; and filling the anchor head casing with the adhesive medium. Once the adhesive medium is set, the separated elements are securely fixed into the anchor head. |
