Abstract: The clamping element is supported in a positive fit on the base plate in the direction of traction of the traction element in the anchoring for pre-stressed strip-shaped traction elements on supporting structures. The traction element is received between a base plate which is fixed to the supporting structure and a clamping plate which can be clamped against the base plate and is fixed by adhesion and clamping. The clamping plate can include, on each side of the traction element, a retaining cam plate which projects in a downward manner and which engages in a retaining recess of the base plate, or can include a retaining projection which supports a stop which is connected to the base plate. The stops on the upper side of the base plate are welded push blocks which are arranged on both sides and/or in the region of the front side of the clamping plate.

Abstract: A concrete tensioning band is disposed on a surface of unhardened concrete and tensioned by being attached to a clamp disposed on the base, and then displacing the clamp by a drive mechanism disposed on the clamp. Such displacement serves to tension the band. Spacers are positioned between the clamp and the base to hold the clamp in the displaced state while the drive mechanism is removed and an anchor device is fixed to the band to anchor the band to the base. Then, the clamp is removed.
