    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method for shearing cables, such as those used in concrete support structures, is presented. In one embodiment, an apparatus is presented that can include a casing, a handle, a cutting nose, a torque conversion mechanism, and a cable support. The cable support can be configured to removably couple to a cable, such as to secure the cable within a cable groove of the apparatus. In another embodiment, a system for cable shearing is presented, wherein the system comprises a shearing apparatus and torque-generation apparatus. In another embodiment, a method of clipping cables, such as within a pocket, is presented.

    摘要: A system, method, and apparatus for post-tensioning in masonry-based system, especially concrete support systems. In one embodiment, a system is presented that can include an anchor, pocket-former, and bolt, wherein the pocket-former can be configured to engage each of the anchor and bolt to facilitate securing of the system to a form. In another embodiment, a method of post-tensioning is presented, wherein a tendon can be suspended at the live end via connections facilitated by a pocket-former. In another embodiment, a system and method of post-tensioning is presented that prevents a pocket and anchor from being contaminated with debris that could ultimately compromise the integrity of the tensioned material.
