Recommended literature for structural cable design

(OP)
Hi guys,

I am a facade engineer. I'm currently handling a project with structural cable system for curtain wall. I'm new to facade and don't have much experience in structural cable system. Do you guys have any recommendation books or references due to my lack of experience. I need to learn this kind of system for my project.

Thanks for your kindness :)

RE: Recommended literature for structural cable design

I have a copy of the 1968 Tiger Brand USS Wire Rope Engineering Hand Book. It's a good reference, though I imagine there are others that are more up to date.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
