catenaries with point loads
can anyone advise me of a calculation method for getting cable tension forces and end reactions for a catenary carrying a point load on the span?
check out our whitepaper library.
hi malbek
have a look at this site;-
i found this spread sheet some time ago (jim lux 28-mar-03). perhaps it will be helpful.
thanks for the replies folks. found a good old book on the slideruleera site & spreadsheet will also be useful.
