Abstract
The tensioner assembly is provided for clamping at least two objects and comprises a tie rod member, a thrust ring positioned on the tie rod member against one of the objects, a first retaining member for removably engaging a distal end of the tie rod member, and a second retaining member for removably engaging the distal end of the tie rod member between the thrust ring and said first nut member and spaced apart therefrom. Each of the first and second retaining members is provided with a set of jackbolts adapted to engage complementary holes therein and to extend from the holes to compressively bias the thrust ring. The total load experienced by the tensioner assembly is shared by two retaining members so that load carried by the first retaining member remains substantially constant during operation, while the second retaining member is subject to stress variation.
