The components include an outer barrel, two inner barrels, two outer wedges, two inner wedges, and a middle wedge. Two sets of three FRP tendons are secured in through holes formed between the respective upper and lower outer wedges and upper and lower inner wedges. A first FRP plate is secured between the upper inner wedge and the middle wedge, while a second FRP plate is secured between the lower inner wedge and the middle wedge.
