Dear All,
I am designing Handrails which is resting over curb.
Please check attached Staad model.
Geometry: 3 vertical posts, 1 pipe(60, 3mm) at top, 9 rows of wires with 5kN pretension force.
Cable is tied at extreme posts only, through intermediate post its just passing.
Loads:
External loads,
1)DL
2)LL1: Point load on Pretensed cable
3)LL2: UDL on top Pipe
4)LL3: UDL on Pretensed cable
5)Temperature load: Variation in temperature 35°C
I am not getting appropriate result. Please help me with conducting such cable analysis.
Application of load due to temp change also need to be checked.
Earliest response would be appreciated.
Thanks.
