Abstract
A device is provided for joining pre-cast concrete sections, the device including a cable loop, wherein the cable sections forming bent portions of the cable loop have sleeves for keeping the cable sections in a bent-over position. The sleeves are plastically deformable before bending and surround the bent portions of the cable sections, but the material of the sleeves is such that the sleeves break under return deformation.
Claims11
A device for joining pre-cast concrete sections, the device comprising a cable loop having cable sections forming bent portions of the cable loop, wherein the cable sections are to be maintained in a bent-over position at least for a period after pre-casting in a precast concrete section and during transportation and storage of the concrete section, and a sleeve surrounding at least one of the cable sections, wherein the sleeve comprises a material which is plastically deformable before bending the cable sections and sleeve, but breaks under return deformation of the cable sections and sleeve.
