Abstract:
1. An anchoring device, comprising: a pressure bearing plate in contact with concrete; a plurality of tendons, each of the plurality of tendons having a filament body made of fiber reinforced plastic; a one piece female member; and a male member configured to be inserted into the one piece female member to sandwich and secure the plurality of tendons between the one piece female member and the male member, wherein the one piece female member has a tapered shape inclined from a first end of the one piece female member toward a second end of the one piece female member, the second end of the one piece female member is in contact with the pressure bearing plate, an outer diameter of the one piece female member is constant from the first end of the one piece female member to the second end of the one piece female member, the male member has a tapered shape inclined from a first end of the male member toward a second end of the male member, and each of the one piece female member and the male member includes a plurality of mount portions at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction of an inclined tapered face between the one piece female member and the male member, each of the plurality of tendons being placed on a corresponding one of the plurality of mount portions of each of the one piece female member and the male member, wherein the plurality of mount portions of the one piece female member and the plurality of mount portions of the male member define placement spaces for the plurality of tendons, respectively, and each placement space is smaller than a substantially circular cross section of a corresponding one of the plurality of tendons, wherein a length from the first end to the second end of each of the one piece female member and the male member corresponding to a longitudinal direction of the inclined tapered face in contact with the plurality of tendons is equal to or larger than 130 mm, wherein at least one of the plurality of mount portions of the male member is a first arc-shaped mount portion having a concave shape extending inward from an outer circumferential face and contacting a circumferential face of the corresponding one of the plurality of tendons, wherein at least one of the plurality of mount portions of the one piece female member is a second arc-shaped mount portion provided at a position associated with the first arc-shaped mount portion when the male member is inserted, the second arc-shaped mount portion having a concave shape extending outward from an inner circumferential face and contacting the circumferential face of the corresponding one of the plurality of tendons, wherein the first arc-shaped mount portion and the second arc-shaped mount portion define the placement space for the corresponding one of the plurality of tendons and are in contact with the corresponding one of the plurality of tendons to hold the corresponding one of the plurality of tendons in the circumferential direction, and wherein the second arc-shaped mount portion is in contact with the corresponding one of the plurality of tendons from the first end of the one piece female member to the second end of the one piece female member.
