Guy Wire Foundation/Anchorage
Guy Wire Foundation/Anchorage
(OP)
Does anybody have any good references or links for some typical details of guy wire foundations/anchorages? I am comfortable with designing for the loads, what I am not sure of is what is typically used to attach the cable to the foundation and so on..any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Always use some sort of softener if you are bending the cable around a rod. Depending upon how the cable is connected there are some efficiency ratios that you should be aware of, as well as the factor of safetys.
Look at ASCE 19, "Structural Applications of Steel Cables for Buildings".
