Abstract
A cable end anchorage for fastening at least one cable at a supporting structure includes at least one first connecting element for connection with the supporting structure, at least one second connecting element for connection with the cable and at least one coupling element for connection of the two connecting elements in a force-transmitting manner. In the region of the coupling element, an overload device designed as a predetermined breaking point of the coupling element is provided for unfastening the connection between the two connecting elements when a critical load has been exceeded. A stop device is provided for limiting the relative motion of the connecting elements after unfastening of the connection when a critical load has been exceeded. The cable end anchorage features a transverse plate that is connected with the coupling element in a force-transmitting manner and at least one tension rod that penetrates the transverse plate in a recess with an at least slightly radial clearance, wherein one end of the tension rod is connected with one of the two connecting elements in a force-transmitting manner on one side of the transverse plate, and a terminal plate is provided a…
