Underwater bracing wire with concrete tie rods, especially for oblique bracing.

摘要

Bracing wires are each made up of tie rods which are prestressed by cables D and articulated one after another. The tie rods V of the non-vertical bracing wires are hollow with an internal volume T filled with hollow balls X whose buoyancy compensates for the weight of the tie rod and prevents the bracing wire from bending under its own weight. Application to crossing an arm of water. <IMAGE>
