Properties of cables
(OP)
Does anyone know where I can find E and A properties for typical cables? The information that I have only covers strength properties but this doesnt help in calculating end reaction for a catenary curve.
I am looking at around 1/2" diameter overall for the cable and will specify whatever is readily available in galvanised.

Dinosaur,
Thanks for the input, Sliderules reference gives an effective MOE for various cables. For 19 wire strand it gives 19000ksi.
