METHOD FOR PROTECTING WORKS OF ART WITH PRESTRESSING TENSIONED CABLES

摘要

The invention concerns a method which consists in providing installation of safety equipment on the cable which takes over from original anchoring elements of said cable, in case the latter breaks. Said safety equipment consists of a component (11) serving as hammer in the form of two half-shells, fixed on the cable (7), and a damping device (12) subject of the patent application FR-02 05105, in the form of a U-shaped or ohm-shaped gutter, which encloses the cable (7) and whereof the deformability corresponds to the variation in the length of the cable when its tension is released after breaking.
