    Point Load On Cable

    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...

    Mesh Deflection.

    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.

    Mesh Deflection.

    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.

    Mesh/Plate Deflection!

    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...

    Reinforced Concrete Impact Loading

    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...
