An end portion of a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic cable () is covered with a friction sheet () having abrasive particles () adhered to top and bottom surfaces thereof, the friction sheet is covered from above with a braided net tube () obtained by braiding a steel wire, and the portion covered with the friction sheet () and braided net tube () is embraced and secured inside an end socket () by a wedge (). The end socket () can be secured rapidly and reliably to the end portion of the carbon fiber-reinforced plastic cable () while maintaining a comparatively high anchoring efficiency.

End anchoring structure and method for fiber-reinforced plastic filament body

A practical cable made of a high strength fiber composite material is provided, which has high and stable strength, in addition, has even axial tension against bending and thus has a stable shape, and can be wound on a reel without shape deformation, and is hardly buckled when it is inserted into a hole or cylinder. The cable is formed by singly twisting a plurality of high strength fiber composite materials is used as a strand, and a plurality of the strands are twisted together at a twist angle of 2 to 12 degrees in a direction opposite to a twist direction of the strands, so that a double twist structure is made.
