This Window Tab shows the calculated Sag & Tension Results for the Ruling Span. This tab is meant to provide summary results, focused on tensions and sags.

 

 

There will be a separate row in the table for each load condition requested, plus non-loaded over the temperature range enabled.

 

Field Descriptions

Hor. Load

Horizontal Lateral Load (such as from wind), expressed as force/unit length of wire

Vert Load

Vertical Load, such as the weight of the wire and ice.

Res Load

Resultant of the Horizontal and Vertical Loads. Both loads are combined

 

Field Descriptions

 (Repeated for Initial, Final Creep and Final Load Categories)

LOS Sag

Line of Sight Sag, based on Tensions

Vert Sag

Vertical component of Sag, based on Tensions

% Vert Sag

Line of Sag under Conditions expressed as a percentage of the Span Length

Tension

Tension of the wire under Conditions and measured at the upper support.

% UTS

Tension expressed as a percentage of the Ultimate Tensile Strength rating.
