RVL wire rope loops manufactured by R-Group Finland Oy are steel parts consisting of a high
strength steel wire and a steel box. RVL wire rope loops are installed to concrete elements before
casting.
When the joint between concrete wall elements is loaded, the longitudinal shear force in the joint
is divided to an angled compression component and a horizontal pull component at the indented
joint. RVL wire rope loop transfers the shear forces acting in the joint between concrete wall ele-
ments by the pull component of the wire rope and the compression component formed by the steel
boxes and the joint
