Pocket former and method for reanchoring live tendons
A method for re-tensioning a stressed tendon cast in a reinforced concrete structure includes removing concrete from the structure to expose the tendon. A pocket former is attached to the exposed tendon. The pocket former comprises two partial sections assembled to enclose the tendon. Grout is poured around the pocket former and is allowed to substantially cure. The pocket former is removed and the tendon is cut. An anchor is assembled to the tendon and the tendon is stressed.
