ABSTRACT:
A shearing device for tendons such as wire, rope or cables. The device incorporates a shear block and clamping system having a first cylindrical block adapted for engaging an eccentric recess formed in a housing. Both the housing and the block are constructed with apertures therethrough adapted for receiving the tendon therein. Eccentric misalignment of the apertures is provided by relative rotation between the housing and the block to therein provide the shearing action. A clamp is disposed outwardly of the block for securing the tendon to be terminated. In this manner, a post-tension tendon of the type utilized in concrete construction or the like, can be safely terminated and controlled within a recessed region with efficiency and dimensional control.
