Abstract
The structural cable has several stretched tendons (). It is diverted in a device comprising a body crossed by conduits (). Each conduit has a wall to guide one of the tendons along a curved path. The wall of the conduit has a tendon support area () directed toward the interior of the curve of the path. This support area presents, in the center portion of the conduit and transverse to the curved path, a section in the shape of a circular arc whose radius is appreciably equal to half the external diameter of the tendon. The central portion of the conduit has a cross-section enlarged outside the support area.
