Planishing anchor

Specifications

1  A range of diameters is available to give a wide selection of tendon forces. The prestressing force is anchored at the end of the bar by a rolled thread, nut,washer and bearing plate. Where necessary bars can be joined with threaded couplers, and clevis fittings may be used where pin connections are required.

2  LQM Bars systems are specifically designed to suit all geotechnical applications as well as civil works and building applications. The systems range from High Tensile hot rolled thread bars to Low Tensile Architectural bars, all with compact and easy to assemble fittings.
3  LQM bar systems are ideal for the economic application of posttensioning forces on relatively short tendons. Through the use of threaded connections and anchorages they are simple to use and lend themselves to many applications.
4  All bars and fittings must receive protection when installed under permanent conditions or used in an exposed environment. One of the following coating systems may be used.

 1) Galvanising
2)  Greased and sheathed in a polyethylene tube
3)  Epoxy paint system
4)  Double corrosion protection
  5  A combination of the above systems may also be specified. Consideration must also be given to the threaded ends to ensure correct installation of fittings after coating.
