Abstract:
The present invention pertains in general to post-tensioning apparatus and systems surrounding the fabrication and repair of concrete and other construction materials. The present invention surrounds apparatus and system directed to the post-tensioning for reinforcement of existing and new concrete structures through the application of tensile forces between two attachment points anchored to the structure to be mended.

Claim (Index 11):
An apparatus for applying tension to cracked concrete comprising:\n a tensioning mechanism comprising a constant cross-sectional profile, a first female threaded feature at a first end of said tensioning mechanism, a second female threaded feature at a second end of said tensioning mechanism, and a torque application feature located between said first and second end; a first tension application component comprising a first end having a male threaded feature configured to engage with said first end of said tensioning mechanism, said first tension application component having a 90-degree bend, and a second end having a rod shape configured to engage a concrete structure; a second tension application component, comprising a first end having a male threaded feature configured to engage with said second end of said tensioning mechanism, said second tension application component having at least one rod shaped structure engaging feature located at a second end configured to engage a concrete structure; wherein the rotation of the tensioning mechanism in a first direction causes said first tension application component and said second tension application components to retract toward a center of said tensioning mechanism and rotation in a second direction causes the first and second components to protract from the center of the tensioning mechanism.
