An improved connecting system for tensile elements, including a
longitudinal tensile element having an end portion and a cross-section
thereof, a deformable connecting element; a bracing element, and a
tensile axis of applied tensile load along said longitudinal tensile
element. The deformable connecting element surrounds the cross section of
the longitudinal tensile element and the deformable connecting element is
joined to the longitudinal tensile element by means of plastic
deformation of said deformable connecting element. The deformable
connecting element is connected to the bracing element.
