Abstract:
This patent refers to improvements introduced in the encapsulation technique regarding the field of tendons with anchor plates and anchor tensors, applied in the construction system of prestressed concrete in its assembly, demoulding, tensioning and final finishing with obtaining anticorrosion protection of metal parts through a set of improved components applied to the current processes and an innovative process that will ensure the seal against entry of concrete cream into the greased system during the assembly of the system, in forms prior to concreting, which will also ensure their perpendicularity to the shape and bringing advantages that will increase the speed of installation, speed of calculation response, speed in the installation of hydraulic jacks for tensioning the pull rods, ease application and perfect fittings in the tools, improvement of the finishing process ensuring thus effective protection for durability, reuse of components, increased safety at work and elimination of all improper process that occurs in the preparation and fixing of the anchor plate and subsequent closing and finishing.

Claim (Index 8):
\u201cTENDON ENCAPSULATION PROCESS IN ACTIVE ANCHOR PLATE IN PRESTRESSED CONCRETE\u201d, wherein said process comprises the following sequence:\n a) After the release of the tendon (C) covered with a hose (M) cut the excess hose (M) of the set with tendon (C), grease (G) and hose (M) and install first the flanged cap ( 1 ) by moving it up next to the point that will be fixed, with the posterior end ( 1 -C) facing the opposite side of the tensioning point; b) Insert the anchor plate chosen between the anchor plate ( 2 ) and the conventional one: c) Insert the pocket form chosen between the mountable ( 4 ) or the pocket form ( 8 ) monoblock with the removing ring ( 4 -B- 1 ) facing the hole (O) of the form (F) to the tensioning point; d) Pass the tip of the tendon in the hole (O) of the form (F) and secure the pull rod fasteners ( 3 ) manually or by means of their own tool on the anchor plate connected with pocket form, in the design angle, in the form; e) Fit the anterior sleeve ( 1 -A) of flanged cap ( 1 ) on the posterior bounce ( 2 -A) of the anchor plate ( 2 ) with the fixing tabs fastened to the anchor plate. f) After making sure that everything is properly secured and fitted, the concreting of the element to be used in accordance with technical norms and engineering determinations begins; g) Once the curing time has elapsed and the concrete strength has been reached as established by the Structural Calculus Designer, the tensioning face deformation of the concrete begins; h) Without the forms, all the pocket form appear in position, ready to begin their removal, which are ergonomically and securely removed with the removing tool ( 9 ) with the contributor standing and turned to the same direction as the pocket form, pulling it back, usually in the continuity of the slab, until detachment of the pocket form occurs, positioning the removal end of the tool on the removing ring of the pocket form, penetrating the bounce at the opening of the tool itself with a little effort downwards and then effecting the pulling, which will culminate in total detachment of the pocket form without damaging or ruining it, allowing later manual removal of the handle and releasing the anchor niche (NF) formed; i) With the release of the anchor niche (NF) it is possible to fit the hydraulic jack (MH) and locking wedges (CT); j) With the anchor niche (NF) without deformations, the hydraulic jack nozzle fits perfectly in this niche; k) Approved by the estimating engineer, the stress/strain of the tendon (C) and its energy trapped by the locking wedges (CT) through the anchor plate, the excess cut of the tendon (C) is released with appropriate cutter and maintained the end of the tendon (C) exposed with a short distance from the anchor plate ready to receive treatment; l) With the aid of the handle ( 5 -C), the plug ( 5 ) is applied with the grease trapped and the seal ( 5 -B) adhered into the sealant adhesive solution, and then the plug ( 5 ) is directed to the anchor niche (NF), cleaned and its ready to receive it, applying it until its full penetration, causing the end of the tendon (C) to break the seal ( 5 -B) so that the grease occupies the empty space and allows the adhesive to squeeze between the plug ( 5 ) and the concrete of the anchor niche of the prestressed concrete element; and m) Release the face of the concrete, already prestressed and properly protected, for subsequent application, as specified in architectural design.
