The tensile forces may be transmitted to the cross-head using a looped cable and
steel saddle, or individual wires in the cable may be locked separately in an anchor
block.
Owing to the high extensibility of the tendons, very large amounts of energy are
stored in the system, creating a potentially hazardous situation. Thus each component
