Structure Analysis I
Lecture 13 Cables & Arches Ch.5 in text book
Cables Cables are often used in engineering structure to support and or transmit loads from one member to another
Cables subjected to concentrated loads
Example 1 Determine the tension in cables and what is the dimension h ?
Cables subjected to a Uniform Distributed Load
Analysis Procedure
General Case
Note
Example 2 Determine the tension of the cable at points A, B, C
Example 3 Determine the tension of the cable at points A, B
