METODA DAN PERALATAN UNTUK MENEMPATKAN ELEMEN TRANSMISI BEBAN PADA KABEL DAN JEMBATAN SUSPENSI YANG TERDIRI DARI BEBERAPA PERALATAN

摘要

The device comprises a collar consisting of two shells, designed to provide a link with the load-transmitting element. The cable has an assembly of tensioned strands contained, at the level of the collar, in a matrix filling the interstices between the strands. This matrix is totally or partially made from a plastic material susceptible to creep under the effect of the clamping action of the collar. The clamping action is applied by elongate elements transmitting a clamping force to the shells of the collar. These elongate elements are stressed so as to produce a longitudinal elastic deformation that is much greater than the maximum settlement of the matrix due to creep. This prevents any undesirable loosening of the collar.
