Abstract
In an apparatus for joining prestressed concrete elements, wherein two prestressed concrete elements to be joined comprise a first prestressed concrete element and a second prestressed concrete element, having a plurality of prestressed first strands within said first prestressed concrete element and a plurality of prestressed second strands within said second prestressed concrete element, a plurality of first strands, after emerging from said first prestressed concrete element, is introduced through openings into said second prestressed concrete element. These first strands introduced into said second prestressed concrete element are then fixed within said second prestressed concrete element under conditions of tensile stress. As a result, the two prestressed concrete elements arranged side by side and to be joined are securely joined together under conditions of predetermined compressive stress.
