Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of the use of cables in construction works.
  • structural cable as used herein also covers a bundle or group of individual cables substantially parallel to each other, each individual cable may itself be composed of one or more elementary strands.
  • the cable, or the individual cables can be bare or individually sheathed, or consist of a mixture of these two types.
  • the cable may optionally be contained generally in an outer protective sheath filled with an adherent material. In the case of a cable formed by a group of individual cables, they may be in direct contact with each other, or be spaced from each other.
  • the invention can in particular be implemented in suspension bridges comprising one or more load-bearing cables to be immobilized with respect to certain elements (pylon tops ...), and to which certain other elements must be attached (suspension of the apron, portions in solidarity with the apron ).
  • the invention can also be applied in the field of prestressing, the structural cable then consisting of a cable tensioned to exert prestressing forces on a concrete structure or other, and to which certain elements of the structure can be set.
  • the interface that the cable presents to its environment is most often defined by generatrices essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction. Under these conditions, to prevent relative longitudinal movements between the cable and the element, it is necessary to exert on the cable a transverse clamping force to obtain sufficient friction at the interface.
  • This clamping can be obtained by means of corner jaws, in particular to achieve the anchoring of the structural cable.
  • the jaws are installed individually around the strands, which implies that they can be separated from each other, a condition which is not always fulfilled in practice.
  • the clamping is usually carried out using collars having two shells (or more), biased towards each other by means of bolts or the like.
  • the inside of the shells have a shape corresponding to the outer interface of the cable possibly completed by filling inserts.
  • German patent 869,977 it has been proposed to secure the attachment of a suspension line to the cable carrying a suspension bridge by adding wedge-shaped jaws at both ends of a collar consisting of several shells tight against each other by bolts.
  • This securing is quite relative since the wedge effect is largely lost in case of loss of tightening of shell assembly bolts due to creep or fatigue.
  • the distribution of clamping forces is poorly controlled in case of tightening of these bolts.
  • this device has the problems of size and weight usually posed by this type of collars.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a method of attachment which distributes well the forces transmitted to the structure cable.
  • the invention thus proposes a device for fastening between a construction element and a structural cable comprising a rigid housing connected to the construction element and surrounding the cable, a wedging structure comprising at least one deformable elastomer material, disposed between the cable and the housing, and force transmission means arranged to exert a longitudinal compressive force, parallel to the cable, on the wedging structure.
  • the jamming structure is pressed against the cable and the housing under the action of the longitudinal compressive force, so as to offer resistance to movement of the housing and the construction element parallel to the cable.
  • the cable is gripped by the friction resulting from the orthogonal contact pressures generated by the longitudinal compression of the structure contained between the rigid outer casing and the cable passing therethrough.
  • the force transmission means make it possible to control the good holding of the binding and the precise positioning of the casing with respect to the cable.
  • a minimum compression force may be applied before the final assembly of the device, or during this assembly before loading.
  • the wedging structure must naturally have sufficient resistance to compression and shear. Its longitudinal displacement during the application of the compression results in a uniform radial clamping of the cable.
  • the homogeneous transmission of forces at the interface between the wedging structure and the cable is facilitated by the fact that the wedging structure undergoes a certain deformation at the moment when the force transmission means exert the controlled longitudinal compression.
  • This deformation is due to the intrinsically deformable nature of all or part of the wedging structure housed between the housing and the cable.
  • This structure may comprise an elastic material, a granular material, a fibrous material, or a mixture of such materials, and it may be made in one or more pieces. It has the property of expanding in the direction or directions orthogonal to the compression direction or directions, either by intrinsic elastic movement or by the movement of the individual particles (fibrous and / or granular) with respect to one another or compared to a binder.
  • the deformable structure has a fairly high shear strength when it is compressed between the housing and the cable, in order to oppose the relative longitudinal movements thereof.
  • the housing serves as support for the wedging structure and connecting piece with the element to be fixed to the cable. It is preferably a one-piece piece that completely surrounds a section of the cable, but it is not mandatory. Such a one-piece piece is for example cylindrical with a circular or polygonal base.
  • This housing can be made of metal or any other sufficiently rigid material.
  • Longitudinal compression is transmitted to the wedging structure by means of plates or rings or other parts bearing on the end surfaces of the wedging structure.
  • the compression may be applied at one end, the other being in abutment against an abutment integral with the housing, or at both ends of the wedging structure, on all or only part of the accessible surface.
  • the force transmission means may comprise one or more members extending parallel to the cable, tensioned by clamping means to exert the longitudinal compressive force at the ends of the wedging structure. These tension members (bolts, preload strands, or any other suitable member) may pass through or around the wedging structure, through or outside the housing.
  • the force transmission means may further comprise a nut screwed into a thread integral with the housing and applied against one end of the jamming structure.
  • the force transmission means may also be arranged to transform a longitudinal component of the load exerted on the cable by the construction element into a longitudinal compression of the deformable structure.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a fastening device installed around a cable 1, or group of cables.
  • the element to be fixed is attached, by appropriate means, not shown, to a cylindrical housing 2.
  • a deformable wedging structure 3 having, in the example shown, the shape of an elastomeric sleeve, is placed around the cable 1 inside the cylindrical housing 2.
  • Two bearing pieces 4, which can be shaped like rings, are respectively applied to both ends of the deformable structure 3, penetrating inside the cylindrical housing 2.
  • a longitudinal compressive force F is exerted on the deformable structure 3 by means of the two support pieces 4. In the example shown, the force F is applied to each of the two parts 4 at both ends of the housing 2.
  • the deformable structure 3 is housed between the cable and the housing 2 with a certain radial clearance. When it is stressed in compression by the force F, it expands radially so as to be pressed inwards against the cable 1 and outwards against the cylindrical housing 2. It thus provides a friction between the cable 1 and the housing 2 which is attached to the element to be fixed. If the axial compression force F is sufficient, and if the structure 3 has an appropriate shear strength, this friction makes it possible to realize the desired fixation, preventing relative longitudinal movements between the cable 1 and the housing 2.
  • the cable 1 is constituted by a set of juxtaposed strands 6.
  • Each strand 6 may itself be composed of several elementary son.
  • the deformable structure 3 has a shape complementary to the volume located between the periphery of the cable and the inner face of the housing 2. This shape can be obtained by molding the deformable structure 3, or else by deformation of an elastomer sleeve of original cylindrical shape .
  • the strands 6 constituting the cable 1 are not juxtaposed, but spaced apart from each other.
  • the elastomeric material of the deformable structure 3 is also in the gaps between the strands 6.
  • the cable 1 is constituted by a solid wire, of cylindrical section.
  • the deformable structure 3 can then simply have the shape of a cylindrical sleeve.
  • the cable 1 is constituted by a strand composed of seven twisted metal wires 7, protected by a plastic sheath 8, with an adherent material 9, for example an elastomer, between the wires 7 and the sheath 8.
  • a strand is described in the application for European patent 0 855 471 .
  • the cylindrical deformable sleeve 3 then bears against the sheath 8 of the strand. The friction of this sleeve 3 on the housing 2 and the sheath 8 provides the desired attachment, together with the adhesion of the material 9 to the wires 7 and the sheath 8.
  • the housing 2 is a one-piece piece of generally cylindrical shape.
  • the base of this cylindrical shape is circular in the examples shown, but it will be noted that it could also be different, in particular polygonal.
  • the fact that the housing 2 is a single piece allows it to be of relatively lightweight construction for a fastener resistant to a given load, especially lighter than if it were formed by assembling several shells, in the manner of conventional collars. In some configurations, the housing could however be an assembly of several parts.
  • the variant embodiment of the figure 6 shows that the housing 2a which is attached to the element to be attached may surround the cable 1 only partially.
  • the cable 1 is surrounded by about 240 °, which allows the establishment of the housing 2a without it being necessary to put it on previously on the cable 1, which can facilitate mounting in some cases.
  • Inwardly directed flanges 2b are located at the ends of the housing perimeter to maintain the deformable structure between the cable and the housing.
  • the figure 6 also shows that the deformable structure 3 may consist of several elements 3a, 3b arranged around the cable 1.
  • the deformable structure 3 consists of a block of elastomeric material traversed by seven cylindrical channels 11 of diameter slightly greater than the diameter of the seven strands 6 constituting the cable, and three other cylindrical channels 12 distributed symmetrically on the section of the housing and intended to receive three threaded rods 13 of slightly smaller diameter.
  • the threaded rods 13 pass through corresponding holes provided in the bearing parts 4.
  • the rods 13 protrude at both ends of the casing 1, where they receive nuts 14. The tightening of these nuts puts the rods 13 in tension so as to exert longitudinal compression on the deformable structure 3. Under the effect of this compression, the deformable structure 3 bears on the inside of the housing 2 and clamps the strands 6.
  • the threaded rods 13 could pass outside the deformable structure 3, through the wall of the housing 2 or outside thereof. These rods could still be replaced by other members working in tension, such as prestressing strands anchored at their ends by conical keys.
  • the deformable wedging structure comprises several (three in the example shown) sections of deformable material 3c, 3d, 3e arranged successively along the cable 1.
  • the end sections 3c, 3e are stressed in compression by the parts of support 4, while rigid inserts 15 are placed between the adjacent sections.
  • These inserts 15 extend radially between the cable and the housing. It can especially be shaped rings.
  • Their role is to limit the creep of the deformable material of the wedging structure from the side of the cable 1 where the transverse loads are applied to the opposite side. They provide support for the cable 1 if such creep occurs, and once this support is achieved, creep ceases since the deformable material is almost no longer solicited transversely.
  • the inserts 15 and the support pieces 4 have radial clearances with respect to the cable 1, adjusted so that it follows a constant or substantially constant radius of curvature when it bears on these inserts, to minimize undesirable curvatures.
  • the longitudinal compression force is applied to one side only of the housing 16.
  • the deformable structure 3 is retained by a portion secured to the housing 16, such as for example a flange 17 directed towards the inside.
  • the bearing piece 18, in the form of a ring bearing on the deformable structure 3 has a flange 19 directed outwards and provided with holes receiving bolts 21 fixed to the housing. The tightening of nuts 22 on the bolts 21 then makes it possible to compress the structure 3 between the flange 17 and the support rings 18.
  • the fixing device shown on the figure 10 comprises a regulating member penetrating inside the housing 16 transversely to the direction of the cable.
  • This member consists of a screw 23 that can be penetrated more or less deeply into the housing 16 to vary the available volume for the deformable structure 3, which allows to vary the clamping procured.
  • the cable 1 consists, as indicated with reference to the figure 5 , in one or more strands protected by an individual sheath 8 made of plastic, for example high density polyethylene (HDPE), and the deformable structure 3 is made of elastomer, for example neoprene.
  • An intermediate rigid layer 24 is disposed between the deformable structure 3 and the sheath 8 of the cable, to take account of the poor coefficient of friction between the HDPE and the neoprene.
  • This layer 24 may in particular be HDPE, the coefficient of friction HDPE / HDPE is better.
  • the intermediate layer 24 On its outer face, that is to say in the direction of the deformable structure 3, the intermediate layer 24 has transverse reliefs to the direction of the cable, such as ridges 25, to increase the friction.
  • the figure 11 shows a variant of the realization according to the figure 10 , in which the intermediate rigid layer 26 ends, on the side of the inner rim 17 of the housing 16, by an outer rim 26a.
  • the flanges 17 and 26a are in axial abutment on one another, and the deformable structure 3 is compressed longitudinally between the flange 26a and the support ring 18 which urges towards the said flanges the end of the wedging structure opposed to that which is in support against the edge 26a.
  • This ensures the radial clamping between the housing 3 and the intermediate layer 26, the latter transmitting the clamping to the cable 1.
  • the only interface working in friction is that between the layer 26 and the cable 1, which allows eliminate any slip problem that may occur on the surface of the deformable material.
  • FIGS. 12 and 13 show embodiments in which the longitudinal compressive force applied to the deformable structure results from a transformation of the longitudinal component of the load C exerted on the cable by the element to be fixed.
  • the cable 1 is in an inclined position, and the load C is directed vertically.
  • annular stop 27 is fixed on the cable 1, exerting a moderate tightening thereon.
  • the lower end of the deformable structure 3 is supported on this stop 27, and its upper end on an inner rim 28 secured to the housing 29.
  • the load C transmitted to the housing 29 by the element to be fixed has a longitudinal component C L directed from the upper end to the lower end of the deformable structure. This component C L urges the rim 28 towards the deformable structure 3, which is compressed between the stop 27 and the flange 28. It should be noted that the sliding resistance offered by the device is greater than that provided for the only stop 27 attached to the cable.
  • the element to be fixed 31 is attached to a lever 32 articulated at its opposite end on a support 33 secured to the housing 34, the hinge axis A being horizontal and perpendicular to the cable 1.
  • An intermediate zone of the lever 32 is applied against a support piece 35 penetrating the housing 34 where it exerts the longitudinal compressive force at one end of the deformable structure, the opposite end of which abuts against a rim 36 integral with the housing 34, as shown by the tearing away of the case in the figure.
  • This arrangement transmits the longitudinal component C L of the load to the deformable structure 3, with an amplification depending on the dimensions of the lever 32.
  • the housing 50 of generally cylindrical shape, is traversed by an axial frustoconical orifice 51.
  • a rib 52 is welded to the outside of the cylindrical housing 50 to receive a clevis attached to the end upper line.

  • This orifice 55 receives the lower end of a sheath member 56 provided with a radial shoulder 57.
  • An externally threaded nut 58 bears against the shoulder 57 and cooperates with the thread 53 to connect the sheath member 56. to the case 50.
  • the thread 54 is formed at the periphery of another cylindrical recess 60 formed below the frustoconical orifice 51. This thread 54 receives a complementary external thread 61 formed at one upper end of another sleeve section 62 in order to connect this section of sheath 62 to the housing 50.
  • the sheath sections 56, 62 extend between two consecutive collars on the carrying cable.
  • the sheath sections 62 connected to the lower sides of the housings 50 have a diameter slightly greater than that of the sheath sections 56 connected to the upper sides of the housings.
  • These two sections of sheath 56, 62 overlap over a certain length in the interval separating two collars. This telescopic overlap makes it possible to shorten the sheath between the collars to facilitate assembly, and allows differential expansions between the materials.
  • the frustoconical orifice 51 of the casing 50 receives a complementary frustoconical jaw 64 which jams between the cable and the casing.
  • the jaw 64 may be constituted by a plurality of distinct angular sectors, for example three in number.
  • the jaw 64 is urged by a nut 65 provided with a thread outside cooperating with the thread 54.
