Does anyone have a link to information on eyebar design?
I was looking at some calculations for a truss design project from 20+ years ago and there's something with the eyebar design I can't figure out.
The equation used is: f= (p/A) + (M/S);
where M = (0.0035 k/in^2/ft.)x (t x d) x L^2
where t = thickness of the eyebar, d = its diameter,
and L = c to c length between panel points.
The 0.0035 k/in^2/ft is throwing me. There's a reference that the same value was used for another bridge; that's it. I've looked through some old books, including Steinman's Treatise on Suspension Bridges but nothing.
