Abstract: A method and apparatus for barrier cable anchorage in a concrete formwork such that individual anchors are positioned relative to each other and to the formwork. A galvanized plate is provided with series of holes spaced from a reference point at the plate edge, and a registered assembly of individual anchors are provided in the holes. Female threaded plate caps are secured within the holes for frontal engagement, and a PSR stud is secured to each plate cap on the back side. The assembly is frontally set against the formwork with the reference point spaced from an external datum. The formwork is cured and barrier cables are affixed to the plate caps through the plate by threaded engagement with a barrel anchor and wedge. After tensioning, each cable is anchored to the formwork in desired relative proximity to one another and to the external datum.

Abstract: A device for helically cutting and automatically removing waste sheathing from the stressing tails of unbonded tendons. The device comprises an elongated body and an attached cutting head. Both the body and the cutting head have a uniform through bore along their longitudinal axis for accepting a post-tensioned tendon. The cutting head comprises an integral blade having a cutting face radially offset from the longitudinal axis and inclined at a pitch angle of between 45 and 85 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis. The blade cuts the sheathing while also ejecting the waste sheathing.

Abstract: A device for helically cutting and automatically removing waste sheathing from the stressing tails of unbonded tendons. The device comprises an elongated body and an attached cutting head. Both the body and the cutting head have a through bore for accepting a post-tensioned tendon. The cutting head comprises an integral blade having a cutting face orthogonal to the cutting head's longitudinal axis and angled between 45 and 85 degrees from the longitudinal axis. The blade cuts the sheathing while also ejecting the waste sheathing.
