Definitions

  • the strand or wire rope fastening to said anchoring head may be replaced by UNITED STATES PATENTS that of a screw-threaded rod rigid with, and projecting coaxi- 2,609,586 9/1952 Parry 264/138 ally from, said socket.
  • the present invention is concerned with a method of anchoring wire ropes under prestressed conditions with a view to reduce the overall dimensions of the anchoring structure in comparison with known devices of this character.
  • this invention provides an anchoring socket consisting of a metal sleeve or cylinder preferably formed with external screw threads and with longitudinal, preferably parallel inner passages each adapted to receive a strand or wire rope extending through the relevant passage and emerging therefrom by a length sufficient to permit the gripping thereof by the anchoring head.
  • each strand or wire rope in the aforesaid longitudinal passages of the anchoring socket is improved by using a very hard spring penetrating into the socket and rope material during the extrusion operation.
  • anchoring devices having particularly reduced dimensions, which project from the finished structure but by the minimum length, are obtained.
  • the wire rope system is tensioned by using an actuator, for example a cylinder-and-piston pulling unit, secured to an anchoring head in which the strands or wire ropes are engaged.
  • the anchorage is locked in position by using a nut screwed on the socket; this nut bears against a metal abutment plate of the fixed structure. Then the strands utilized for tensioning the system are cut flush to the outer end of the socket, and the finished anchoring device thus obtained has relatively reduced overall dimensions.
  • these overall dimensions may be further reduced, especially in the longitudinal direction, by using a plain anchoring socket or sleeve comprising on the one hand longitudinal and preferably parallel through passages each adapted to anchor therein, separately, a strand constituting the reinforcing or bracing system, or a wire rope of the multirope system, which extends therethrough and emerges therefrom only by a quantity corresponding to the socket elongation resulting from the extrusion operation, and on the other hand an axial passage engaged by a steel rod of sufficient cross-sectional dimension which has its screw-threaded end screwed in the anchoring head.
  • the strands or wire ropes constituting the bracing or reinforcing system, and on the other hand the rod are rigidly connected to the socket, and the assembly can be tensioned-by simply using an actuator secured to the free, screw-threaded portion of the rod which emerges from the socket.
  • the prestressed anchorage is completed by locking a nut screwed on said central threaded rod and adapted to bear against a metal abutment plate. Then, if desired, the rod portion protruding from the nut may be cut off so that the projecting portion of the anchoring device corresponds simply to the thickness of this nut.
  • FIG. I is an elevational, part-sectional view showing a conventional prestressed anchoring device in its finished condition
  • FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of an anchoring device, showing the position of the parts before the final tension has actually been applied thereto;
  • FIG. 3 is a section taken along the line III-III of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 2 but showing the parts in the tensioned or stressed condition
  • FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 but showing the completed anchoring device
  • FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 are views similar to FIGS. 2 and 4 but concerning a modified form of embodiment of the anchoring structure of this invention.
  • the conventional method of anchoring a multistrand wire rope system 1 or a multi rope system consists in engaging the wire rope or wire rope assembly through a socket 2 of a length corresponding substantially to the wire rope elongation under tension (FIG. 1).
  • This extruded socket or sleeve 2 is gripped by the clamping member of a traction actuator (not shown until it emerges from the outflared tubular member 3 and can be fastened to the abutment plate or flange 4 of the locking plug 9.
  • a traction actuator not shown until it emerges from the outflared tubular member 3 and can be fastened to the abutment plate or flange 4 of the locking plug 9.
  • relatively bulky anchoring sockets are necessary and the tensioning operation is obviously delicate to perform.
  • barrel-shaped sockets or sleeves 2 are used, i.e. cylindrical sockets in which preferably rectilinear, parallel and concentric longitudinal through passages 5 are formed; the wire ropes or strands 1 are threaded through these passages and the length thereof which emerges from the opposite end of the socket is a least sufficient to permit the gripping or clamping thereof by means of a suitable device or anchoring head 6 rigid with an annular actuator 7 (FIGS. 2 and 3).
  • the assembly is tensioned in the conventional manner (FIG. 4) until the desired tension is obtained.
  • the wire rope elongation is of course properly calculated beforehand, so that the screw-threaded socket 2 will be so position-ed that it can be locked by means of the nut 9, whereafter the projecting free end of the wire rope can be cut off (FIG. 5).
  • the barrel-shaped anchoring head may be formed with the desired number of longitudinal passages arranged in any suitable manner, the friction forces being exerted over the entire peripheral surface of each elementary strand or wire rope during its passage through the socket, so that the length and trans- 'verse dimension of this socket are reduced considerably.
  • the reinforcing, bracing or like wire rope assembly or structure 1, or each strand or rope is anchored separately in one of the longitudinal parallel passages of socket 2 so as to extend through it and emerge therefrom by a quantity corresponding only to the elongation l of the anchorage during the socket;
  • this socket 2 further comprises an axial through passage 12 engaged by a rod 10 having at least one screw-threaded end, one end 11 of this rod being fastened to the head 6 of a traction actuator 7.
  • the socket 2 is rigidly assembled both with the strands or wire ropes l of the rope system or assembly and with the axial rod 10, suitable members such as hard-steel springs 8 being interposed if desired therebetween to increase the anchoring strength either between the strands and the passages 5 (FIG. 6) or between the axial passage 12 and the traction rod 10 which can be screw-threaded or plain (FIG. 8).
  • a method of anchoring a wire rope in a predetermined tensioned condition to an anchoring frame comprising: providing a wire rope to be tensioned; providing an anchoring frame and an anchoring sleeve movable relative thereto to an anchoring position; extruding said anchoring sleeve on an end portion of said wire rope to an axial distance along the length of said wire rope proportional to the extent of elongation thereof when same is in said predetermined tensioned condition; applying a tensive force directly on said wire rope end portion until said predetermined tensioned condition is obtained accompanied by movement of said anchoring sleeve to said anchoring position; and then locking said anchoring sleeve against'movement relative to said anchoring frame.
  • a method according to claim 1 wherein said first-mentioned providing step comprises providing a multistrand wire rope to be tensioned; and wherein said extruding step comprises simultaneously extruding said anchoring sleeve on respective end portions of each individual strand of said multistrand wire rope to an axial distance along the lengthof said multistrand wire rope proportional to the extent of elongation thereof when same is in said predetermined tensioned condition.
  • a method according to claim 2 including embedding a spring into both said anchoring sleeve and each individual strand of said multistrand wire rope during said extruding step to securely fasten said anchoring sleeve to said multistrand wire rope.
  • extruding step includes extruding said anchoring sleeve on said multistrand wire rope while said individual strands are arranged in a circular configuration.
  • a method according to claim 2 further including the step of removing that portion of said multistrand wire rope projecting beyond said anchoring sleeve after completion of said locking step.
  • a method according to claim 1 including embedding a spring into both said anchoring sleeve and said wire rope during said extruding step to securely fasten said anchoring sleeve to said wire rope.
  • a method according to claim 1 further including the step of removing that portion of said wire rope extending beyond said anchoring sleeve after completion of said locking step.
