Does anyone have the A*E properties and weight for 7-19 wire rope or the area, weight and the E values for same? I'm looking for 1/2" dia to 1" dia for an Smath program

Thanks, Dik

Check out this engineering guide by US Steel. It's an older manual, but there is a wealth of information in it.

They even have sample calculations and the statics of common setups.

You may find some relevant design information in the NCHRP report 711 from FHWA.

Thanks, Bridge...

PEinc... Wire rope, not prestressing cable... I think the contractor is opting for a 'tie-off' cable, not a 'cable guard'...

Joel... your reference has good information about the equivalent Young's modulus for different wire rope types...

again... thanks.
