  • Patent number: 10961711
    Abstract: A reinforcement system for anchoring tendons for structural reinforcing a structure such as a concrete structure, said reinforcement system comprises at least one anchor and at least one tendon, said anchor is adapted to fix said tendon in and/or outside said structure, wherein said reinforcement system comprises a ductility element, which is positioned in structural connection between said tendon and said anchor, said ductility element comprising weakened deformation zones being deformable so that the length of the ductility is increased or decreased in an axial direction along the length of said tendon.

  • Publication number: 20200040593
    Abstract: A structure (30), such as a concrete structure, with a reinforcement system configured for anchoring tendons (40) for structurally reinforcing the structure (30), said reinforcement system comprising at least one tendon (40) and at least two anchorages (10), said least one tendon (40) having a first end and a second end, said first end of the at least one tendon (40) being structurally connected to the structure (30) by said at least two anchorages (10), each of said at least two anchorages (10) comprising an anchor (15), said anchors (15) being positioned successively at different positions along the length of said first end of said at least one tendon. Each of said two or more anchorages (10) comprises an anchorage block (11), in said anchorage block (11) is attached to the structure (30), and said anchorage block (11) accommodates said anchor (15).

  • Patent number: 10323427
    Abstract: An anchoring device configured for anchoring tendons for structural reinforcing a structure. The anchoring device includes fastening means configured for fastening the anchoring device to the structure, and a tendon pressure contact surface configured for being pressed against a surface of the tendon to be anchored. The tendon defines a reference plane, and anchoring device defines first and second distal end spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction. The anchoring device further includes a proximal portion located between the first and second distal ends. The anchoring device defines a core plane extending parallel to the reference plane. The tendon pressure contact surface extends in the longitudinal direction of the anchoring device from the first distal end to the proximal portion.

  • Patent number: 10221570
    Abstract: An anchoring device for anchoring tendons for structural reinforcement. The anchoring device has a longitudinal central axis defining an axial direction. The anchoring device includes an outer barrel and an inner wedge. The outer barrel has a cylindrically or frusto-conically shaped inner surface defining a cylindrically or frusto-conically shaped inner space. The inner wedge has a frusto-shaped outer surface and a coaxial bore. The shaped inner space is configured for allowing the inner wedge to be positioned in the shaped inner space of the outer barrel in the axial direction. The coaxial bore of the inner wedge is configured for receiving a tendon. The inner wedge includes inner and outer portions, the inner portion overlapping the outer portion as seen in a radial direction.
