Cable
(a) Shape of the Cable with Inclined Cable Chord (Under Uniformly Distributed
Load)
Defines shape of the cable w.r.t. cable chord
Defines shape of cable w.r.t. horizontal axis (X) when
origin at left support of cable
(b) Shape of the Cable with Horizontal Chord (Under Uniformly Distributed Load)
Defines shape of cable w.r.t. horizontal axis (X) when
origin at left support of cable
For the case of horizontal cable chord 𝛾 = 0;
Defines the shape of the cable with horizontal cable chord
w.r.t axes (𝑥𝑐, 𝑦𝑐) with origin at the lowest point of the cable.
(c) Cable Tension with Inclined Cable Chord (Under Uniformly Distributed Load)
maximum tension occurs where cable slope is
maximum
(d) Length of Cable with Inclined Cable Chord (Under Uniformly Distributed Load)
(e) Length of Cable with Horizontal Chord (Under Uniformly Distributed Load)
(f) Stretch of Cable Under Concentrated Load
(g) Stretch of Parabolic Cable Under Uniformly Distributed Load
( stressed length )
