Abstract:

The bending stresses in stay cables subjected to varying axial forces and imposed end rotations are investigated. It is shown that these stresses can be effectively reduced by a suitable rotation of the anchorages with respect to the chord lines and by guiding the cables at their end, providing a sufficiently stiff support at a certain distance from the anchorage. Recommendations for appropriate guide lengths and stiffness are given.
