Steel Cable Guardrails
Steel Cable Guardrails
(OP)
I've been searching for information on the design of stainless steel cable guardrails for some stairs I'm designing, without much luck. Any design info on the subject would be greatly appreciated, particularly how to determine prestress force required. I'm even having difficulty finding mechanical properties for the cable - 1x19 316 stainless steel commercial strand.

They've got all the fittings and support recommendations in the ones I've read.

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.
