Abstract: An anchorage for anchoring a stressed reinforcing tendon to a structural body, which tendon consists of a plurality of stressed elongate elements arranged to lie side-by-side generally in a flat array, has an anchoring means by which the elongate elements are individually anchored to the anchoring body. So that the elements do not interfere with each other, the apertures are arranged in at least two rows each of which is parallel to or in the plane of the said flat array. Preferably the apertures in each row are laterally offset with respect to the apertures of the or each adjacent row. Preferably there are two of said rows of apertures in the anchoring body, offset respectively in opposite directions from the plane of the flat array.

Abstract: A stressed reinforcing tendon for a structure has at least one stressed elongate element and an anchoring body in said structure to which said element is anchored by means of an anchoring device e.g. a wedge, button head or nut engaging the element so as to transmit stress in the element to the anchoring body. To overcome a potential weakness at the connection of the element to the anchoring device, there is a secondary load transfer element secured to the stressed element at a stressed portion thereof and secured to the anchoring body to relieve the said anchoring device of part of the stress being transferred to the anchoring body. The secondary element may be a tube secured to the stressed element by cementing material.
