    Abstract: A connector for connecting together end-to-end two sets of reinforcing tendons in a concrete structure, particularly at the junction of sections in a post-stressed structure, has respective sets of bores for the sets of tendons providing, for both sets, frusto-conical seats for gripping wedges for the tendons, and also has for one of the sets of tendons means for resiliently urging the wedges into their seats, in order to hold the tendons in place until they are tensioned. The two sets of bores may be in a gripping plate, and the resilient means in a spacing member abutting the plate.
