Jig for Straight-Tensioning PC Steel Wire (Part 4) | Completed

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

It's already nighttime and I'm just now posting this update lol. Sorry about that.

I tried using a PC steel wire guide spacer.

Use of PC Steel Wire Guide Spacers

Do you understand?

It's a little hard to see, but something seems to be stuck in there.

It feels like it fits snugly in there!

Secure the top and bottom with cable ties to keep them from coming loose.

I had a hard time putting this on!

I thought it would be easier to put on.

 

As for the installation procedure, first identify which one is the steel wire.

To do this, check the paired PC strands.

Load-bearing element

Please take a close look at the load-bearing structure.

The formation is 3-2-3.

You can verify this because it's shown on the drawing.

First, draw three lines at the top, two on each side, and three diagonally below the top lines.

However, there was a problem here.

Temporary Anchor

This is the part.

There's a bundle of PC steel strands here.

And on top of that, all scattered about...

What I'm trying to say is that they aren't arranged in a 3-2-3 pattern; they're just grouped together in a somewhat haphazard way.

In that case, what happens is that the top goes to the bottom, the bottom goes to the top, and things are reversed left to right.

This was the cause of the twisting!!

I thought that was probably where things started to go awry.

Actually, grout is seeping into the free-length section too, so if it gets fixed like this...

That said, even if I fix this, it’ll still be spinning inside the casing, so that’s the tricky part...

Well, I'll let you know how this turns out!

By the way, the thickness didn't really matter. It worked just fine even at 7 mm.

 

See you later.
