    Abstract: A damping system for a cable disposed within an upper pipe and a lower pipe includes a damper plate assembly connected to the upper pipe, a slider ring connected to and/or supported by the lower pipe, the slider ring having a hole in which the cable is arranged; and a shroud surrounding the damping system at a position where the upper pipe is adjacent to the lower pipe, such that the damper plate assembly and the slider ring are covered by the shroud. In such damping systems, the damper plate assembly and the slider ring are in contact with each other such that the transverse movement of the upper pipe relative to the lower pipe generates a frictional force to reduce an amplitude of the transverse movement of the upper pipe relative to the lower pipe.

    Abstract: Coupler devices, systems, and related methods for coupling ducts are provided. In some aspects, a duct coupling device includes a hollow body, at least one coupler seal disposed about an outer surface of the body, and a plurality of apertures extending through the body for facilitating the passage of a fluid and/or any other medium therethrough. A duct coupling system includes a duct coupling device with a sealing member, coupler transitions adapted to receive the duct coupling device, and a sealing member. The sealing member is configured to seal an annular space disposed between a first surface of the duct coupling device and a surface of one of the first and second ducts. A method of coupling ducts includes providing a first coupler transition on a first duct, providing a second coupler transition on a second duct, and providing a duct coupling device between the first and second coupler transitions.

    Abstract: Encapsulated anchor devices, systems, and methods are provided. An exemplary anchor device is used in a system for reinforcing a structure. The exemplary anchor device includes an anchor plate and a wedge. A strand is pulled through the anchor plate, and one portion of the strand is disposed in a first cover and another portion of the strand is bare. The device further includes a protective cover that encapsulates the anchor plate, the strand, and a portion of the first cover.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) cord system and method that is useful for concrete repair and strengthening applications, including the strengthening of concrete slab edges to increase their resistance to lateral loads from extension elements, such as railings, attached to balconies or façades attached to portions of a building. In certain configurations, fiber-reinforced polymer cords are affixed to a concrete structure along an end surface that includes an extension element, with the fiber-reinforced polymer cords positioned on opposite sides of the extension element. In further configurations, fiber-reinforced polymer cords are affixed to adjacent faces of concrete structures. In particularly preferred configurations, the fiber-reinforced polymer cords are situated within grooves that extend into the faces of the concrete structures that are being reinforced.
