Thanks for the input.
My situation is that my leg section is at 106% of the tensile capacity without considering any contribution from the cable. The pipe does yield, but could we consider the pipe + cable as a composite section, with the cable contributing to the tensile resistance provided...
Hello,
I am analyzing a self support communication tower that has been modified such that the existing pipe legs have been filled with non-shrink concrete grout and a 3/8" EHS Cable.
For the tensile capacity of the pipe section, would I consider the entire contribution of the cable's tensile...
