he cable of a suspension bridge, shown in Figure, runs over a frictionless pulley on top of each of the towers at A and B and is fixed by tension anchor at D and E. If the cable carries a uniform horizontally-distributed load of 120 kN/m, design the cable and towers. For the cable you will need to select the appropriate material, profile and cross-section to achieve an overall safety against tensile failure equal to 3. For the towers you will need to select the appropriate height, materiel and cross-section to achieve an overall safety against tensile failure equal to 3.

1. The figure shows a cable of weight w per unit length. It can be shown that the cable is described by y = ccosh in the indicated system of axes (the so-called catenary curve). The minimum tension in the cable occurs at y = c, and the maximum tension at A and B. These tensions are determined from the equations Tmin Tmax 15 m Determine the maximum- and minimum tensions in a cable over a span of 90m with a sag of 15 m, as shown in the figure. The weight per unit length is 45 Nm. Use the linear interpolation method and work to an accuracy of 1 decimal place. [Hints: (1) The unknown to be found is c. (2) c is a distance, and from the scale of the figure we expect it to be in the order of 100 m.] 90 m- VA wc wyb O
