Abstract
A method and assembly for anchoring a segment of rebar and a plate to a mass. The assembly includes a barrel extending about and along an axis and defining a bore extending therethrough along the axis with the bore being tapered. A wedge having a frustoconical shape extends about and along the axis. The wedge is tapered in conformity with the bore of the barrel for being received by the barrel. A cap is connected to the barrel for closing the barrel. The method includes the step threadedly tightening the cap about the barrel in axial abutment to close the barrel, and further the step of compressing the wedge axially into the bore of the barrel to drive the wedge radially inwardly to provide for a biasing force of the wedge against the rebar prior to said step of threadedly tightening the cap about the barrel.
