Jig for Straight-Pulling PC Steel Wire (Part 5) | Improved Version

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

In my previous blog post, I made and installed PC steel wire guide spacers.

And starting today, there was that tension on set.

Part of it had come loose.

PC Steel Strand Guide

The Insulock has come loose, and the PC steel wire guide spacer has fallen off. (It’s nowhere to be seen.)

I suspect that when the outer casing is pulled out after the anchor is inserted, the anchor body rises along with it, and

There was a time when I pushed it in using the machine's extension rod.

It is presumed that the PC wire expanded at that moment, causing the cable tie to snap.

It's possible that the guide fell when the PC strand expanded.

It's a total mess lol

This color is the 10 mm type. I thought it was pretty strong, but the strength at the ends is lacking.

PC Steel Wire Guide Spacer

This color is the 7 mm type.

This one is slightly bent and buckled.

7 mm of plastic just won't work.

 

The anchor, which had been driven into the ground, showed signs of wire slippage even though it was equipped with a guide.

It’s like the guide expanded and fell off, then miraculously snapped back into place? lol

 

Miraculously, the remaining parts allowed us to install the jack with fewer complications than usual when routing the steel cables.

But I thought it still needed some improvement.

I'm thinking of trying an experiment with steel next, but I already know the results.

The reason is that since it just increases the strength, if it all comes down to whether it will come loose or not, does that mean we need to change the shape?

Should I make a lock or modify the PC wire?

If you have any good ideas, please let me know lol. I'm open to suggestions.
(Please note, however, that we will be making this spacer public.)

I'm still a little nervous today, so I'll go over a few things to make sure everything's in order!

 

See you later.
