Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1065317A1] The cable consists of several multi-wire steel strands (13) with their ends attached to anchoring points (12) in the bridge infrastructure by connectors (15). Each connector has a body in the form of a steel nut (31) with parallel end faces and lengthwise lateral grooves to receive the cable strands (13), each strand being pre-stressed and consisting of seven wires with a sacrificial anti-corrosion covering. Each strand also has a stop (33) at one end in the form of a threaded or crimped steel sleeve or a bush fixed in place by a conical wedge, and the nut has a thrust surface on one end face to interact with the stops.
