Sheathing clamps for unbonded post-tensioning assemblies
This disclosure is directed to retention clamps that may be included in post-tensioning assemblies. More specifically, in some embodiments, a sheathing-retaining clamp for a post-tensioning assembly may comprise a body adjustable between an open position and a closed position, wherein in the closed position, the body is configured to wrap around a tendon assembly of the post-tensioning assembly, and a fastening mechanism configured to lock the body in the closed position. In some such embodiments, the sheathing-retaining clamp may additionally comprise a plurality of compression ribs that extend radially inwards from the body in the closed position and that are configured to directly contact a sleeve of the tendon assembly.
