Hello everyone.
The problem:
I need a way by hand the calculate the tension in a cable due to a central lateral point load neglecting any intial sagging effects and intial tensioning. So basically the intial stiffness is zero.
I have looked at many iterative solutions for similar cable...
Sorry I might not have been clear with my first post.
The span is 5m.
I guess I could just do a linear analysis and treat it as 1 way action for the 5 m and use strip methods.
Don't worry I think I have a solution.
Spacegass does non linear analysis. I will just model it as a grillage structure.
Apply a unit load and use that as my equivalent spring constant hence and then calculate my deflection energy.

Hello everyone.
I have a thin 5 mm mesh made up of hard drawn low carbon wire.
To get a rough idea of the stiffness, the mesh similar to the wire used on old school shopping trolley’s.
I have a 5 x 2 m rectangular mesh structure which in worst case will be subject to a fairly high impact...

Has anyone here dealt with impact loading of reinforced concrete? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I am dealing with street circut tempoary concrete crash barriers.
So far I have been designing according to the AS 3600 with my equivalent static loads calculated from approximate impact...
