Cable bending limiting arrangement and combination of a cable bending limiting arrangement with a cable, an anchorage, a compacting clamp unit and a recess pipe

A cable bending limiting arrangement for an anchoring unit comprising an anchorage, a cable including a plurality of wires and/or strands extending in a tensioned manner from the anchorage, a compacting clamp unit adapted for compacting the wires and/or strands to a side-by-side arrangement and located at a predetermined distance from the anchorage, and a recess pipe surrounding the cable in at least a portion of the predetermined distance,

• the cable, the anchorage, the compacting clamp unit and the recess pipe not being part of said cable bending limiting arrangement,
• wherein said cable bending limiting arrangement comprises a cable bending limiting device adapted for being located axially inside the recess pipe and radially between an outer surface of the cable and an inner surface of the recess pipe leaving an annular gap of a predetermined radial width if the longitudinal axis of the cable extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the anchorage,
• wherein the cable bending limiting device has a substantially cylindrical surface on its radially outer side and a curved surface of a predetermined maximum curvature at its radially inner side and the cable bending limiting device being configured to be located in the recess pipe to allow the cable to abut against the cable bending limiting device when a central axis of the cable deflects from a state where the central axis of the cable is not in alignment with a central axis of the anchorage.
