BENEFITS OF GRADE 700/900
The immediate benefits of grade 700 tie rods compared to lower grades are a smaller tonnage of
steel resulting in lower overall material, transportation costs and an easier / safer handling at site.
Considering a grade 700/900 assembly as compared to grade 500/660 tie rods, the savings on bars
(excluding accessories and connectors) would be:

ROLLED THREAD PROFILE & BENEFITS
Thread rolling process redistributes the excess material outwards in a compact granular formation
giving it maximum efficiency over the active stress area. There is no removal of steel material
during this process, contrary to a cut thread.
The dies compress the material to form the root of the thread and force the displaced material
outward to form the crests.
The result is a minimal loss of cross-sectional area at the bottom of the thread, and cold working of
the displaced material.
Fibers are not broken but enhanced in

the tip section (major diameter) and
root section (minor diameter), thus
improving the resistance to fatigue in
case of a rolled thread.
Moreover, this process does not
involve any heating of the bar which
could alter its chemical properties.

STANDARD BAR LENGTHS
Dextra tie rods being usually shipped in standard 20ft or 40ft containers
to the project location, the maximum individual length for bars is 5.8
meters or 11.8 meters respectively.
Special lengths are available upon project requirements.
CORROSION PROTECTION / SURFACE FINISH

Dextra tie rods can be delivered without any specific surface finish when considering sacrificial
thickness as specified in EN 1993 Part 5.
However other alternatives are available to enhance corrosion protection, such as bituminous
tape, paint or hot dip galvanization, depending on the project design and requirements.
When bituminous tape is required, it can either be wrapped at Dextras factory or delivered
separately with the tie rods, depending on projects requirements:

For paint protection, a single coat of epoxy paint is applied as Dextras factory as per EN 1993.
Hot-dip galvanization is performed as per EN ISO 1461:1999 or ASTM A123. In accordance with
common practice and industry recommendations, internal threads of components are not
galvanized and external bar threads are brushed after galvanizing.

CONNECTIONS COUPLERS
Couplers are used to connect individual bars together, and provide no length adjustment.
Dextra couplers are designed to ensure the full strength of the connection up to the load capacity
of the bar, therefore using several couplers in a tie rods assembly does not reduce the overall
strength of the assembly.
37
COMPONENTS
CONNECTIONS COUPLERS
Couplers are available to accommodate bar grades 355/510, 500/660, 700/900.
Standard couplers are used with an extended thread on one of the bars, which allows full engagement
of the coupler.
The connection with coupler is achieved by placing the bars butt to butt and simply rotating the coupler.
It is therefore not required to turn the bar.

Turnbuckles are right hand-left hand threads connectors. The main purpose is to adjust the length
of the total tie rod assembly by up to +/- 50mm.
Turnbuckles can be installed anywhere on the tie rod: either close to the waling beams, sheet piles,
tubular piles and any anchor walls, or at mid distance from the walls.
Turnbuckles are marked with a grove on one side in order to identify the thread direction and make
the installation easier. The left-hand thread side of the turnbuckle has a grove, whereas the righthand thread side does not.
