  • Patent number: 9663963
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device and method for introducing a force into tension members made of fiber-reinforced plastic flat strip lamella. The device can include at least one clamping element, which is arranged on the tension member and has at least one contact face with the tension member. At least one rigid sleeve can be arranged around the at least one clamping element and the tension member and thereby exerts a clamping pressure on the tension member via the clamping element. The clamping element can be formed of plastic material having a modulus of elasticity ranging between 1000 and 5000 MPa, bending tensile strength of ?25 MPa and pressure resistance of ?25 MPa.

  • Patent number: 9574359
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an arrangement having a supporting structure having a surface containing (e.g., consisting of) one or more faces, wherein a bore runs from at least one face into an inner region of the supporting structure, and this bore is filled with an adhesive and with a portion of a fibre bundle projecting beyond said face, wherein, on the at least one face, from which the bore runs into an inner region of the supporting structure, the supporting structure is provided with at least one groove which, starting from the bore, extends in at least one direction on the surface, and the projecting part of the fibre bundle is located, at least in part, in the at least one groove and is fastened therein by way of the adhesive.

  • Patent number: 9068365
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device for anchoring the ends of tension members made of fiber-reinforced plastic flat strip lamellas on reinforced concrete beams that have a connecting piece and a flange with a horizontal flange lower face, two flange lateral faces, and two upper faces that run from the flange lateral faces to the connecting piece. A base plate can be positioned on the flange lower face in a horizontal manner, and at least one lateral part can be positioned along at least one flange lateral face in a vertical manner.

  • Publication number: 20140360129
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device for introducing a force into tension members made of fiber-reinforced flat-strip plastic lamellas, including at least one clamping element arranged on the tension member and having at least one surface in contact with the tension member. At least one sleeve is arranged around the clamping element and the tension member and exerts a clamping pressure onto the tension member via the clamping element. The clamping element is made of at least two layers which lie one on top of the other; a first soft layer of a material and at least one second hard layer.
