1 APPLIED ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURES: STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND SYSTEMS DR. ANNE NICHOLS FALL 2017 lecture six cables & arches Cables & 1 Applied Architectural Structures Millennium Bridge in Newcastle, UK Cables simple uses suspension bridges roof structures transmission lines guy wires, etc. have same tension all along can t stand compression struts do Cables & 2 nisee.berkeley.edu/godden Cables use high-strength steel need towers anchors stiffeners (hangers) have spans & sag don t want movement dynamic effects of wind resonance nisee.berkeley.edu/godden Cables Cables & 3 Cables & 4 1
