ABSTRACT:
A pre-stressing sheath for preventing wet concrete from penetrating between the sheath and strands being debonded, and for covering sections of reinforcing strands in pre-stressed concrete beams such that any potential strand tension transmitted to a beam is nullified by allowing the strands to slide freely within the pre-stressing sheath. The pre-stressing sheath is made up of a first hollow cylindrical sheath section having a longitudinal slit that allows the first sheath section to be opened and placed about the concrete reinforcing element, and a second hollow cylindrical sheath section having a longitudinal slit that allows the sheath section to be opened and placed about both the concrete reinforcing element and the first sheath section. The first sheath section further includes an integral outwardly projecting ridge for interlocking with the longitudinal slit of the second hollow cylindrical sheath section.
