DYNA Grip® Stay Cable Systems
If strands need to be guided through the pylon structure and a transfer of forces by friction is required, DYWIDAG offers a saddle in which the strands are guided from one side of the pylon to the other:
- Strands are placed into a multitude of individual, curved recess tubes. The interstices between the saddle tube and the recess tubes are grouted
- The saddle itself is embedded into concrete
- Individual strands can be replaced
- Differential forces are transferred by friction
- Application of Epoxy coated strands and consequently:
- no peeling of strands’ sheathing within the saddle necessary
- no pressure; the coating is therefore not in danger of being harmed, which can occur when using PE-sheathed strand
