So in the end, I was asking about the cable tension. It seems then that the tension does not change when another span and load is added. So the cable could be ten spans long (one anchor each end, pulleys at each interior) and ten times the load and the tension is the same as one span (assuming...

Thanks everyone. The reason I am having difficulty understanding is that on a two span cable (same elvation), if you load the left span, you get a sag on the left span and a tension carried through to the right support. If you load the right span, you get the same tension to the left...

If a cable is used to support uniform loads in a catenary with fixed supports, the cable tension can be determined. What happens to the cable tension if the length and total load is doubled but a vertical support only is added in the middle? I think it stays the same but it does not seem correct.

Thanks everyone, there is no seismic load but I am going to use a thicker gusset plate to minimize the buckling possibility.

I have a horizontal bracing member under compression load and it is to be connected using a "L-shaped" gusset plate to two beams connected to the column. I am concerned about the plate buckling or folding under the compression load. I think I should be stabilizing the plate vertically so that...
