peer agreement (net): +1| câble de fléau cantilever tendon Explanation: I cannot take credit for this answer, which has been kindly supplied by a well-wisher who no longer participates in KudoZ. You may regard their input as authoritative, on the basis of their extensive experience in the field! Câble de fléau > Cantilever tendon (one extending through all or some of the segments of a cantilever) It's a short prestressing cable in a bridge deck, etc. installed as successive segments are erected. They will tie two or more segments together, but not the entire span. They are principally intended to support successive segments as they are cantilevered out from each pier. Once all the segments of a span have been erected, long continuity tendons are threaded through them all (or, successively, large numbers of them) and tensioned at the ends. |
