Catenary Cable Tension
Catenary Cable Tension
(OP)
Is the formula different to find the required cable tension for a multispan catenary cable as it is for a single span cable? All the books I have reference the tension force required for only single span cables.





RE: Catenary Cable Tension
1. What size and type of cables are you talking about?
2. What type of connections/supports will be at the tower/bents?
3. How will the cable support the deck?
Sounds like a fun project.
