RE: SB: A new Tie down method for SB ???

["Pacot, Domingo" <Domingo.Pacot@team.telstra.com>]

I'm thinking of a pipe at either end of the loops,  and then work  the twist
up the strands, so you can use the length of the pipe for leverage.  I
haven't seen any State guide lines on "tie down" in Australia. I'm more
concerned that the strand under pressure may shear / tear through the
concrete slab but >150 mm  would probably hold up . Needs some testing, I
guess.  The other issue is how to get the interior loop reasonably placed,
as I don't want to have to come in to the wall, and nor do I want to be too
far under the bale and cut in on the base plate

	     I like your idea. working with high tensile is hard as the loop
gets 
	tight. would there be a problem with kinks? What about codes and
state 
	guidelines? I really like the idea on the "cheap" part. would a
sharp 
	bend,(as the wire folded up against the wall) cause a weak point?
