Cable or Wire Rope, Minimum Tensile Strength
Cable or Wire Rope, Minimum Tensile Strength
(OP)
I have a 1" diameter strand on an existing 1970s rehabilitated cable/wire rope bridge that I am analyzing. I know that the steel material is not of A36 type. I am looking for help in coming up with the minimum tensile strength. Please help.

Refer to the Wire Rope Engineering Handbook published by USS United States Steel. There's also more to the design, such a cable anchorage, sheave diameter etc. Also, factor of saftys vary with the use.
The standard grades that I quoted from the manual was re-published in 1968.
