Methods of Measuring and Establishing Cable Tensions in Guyed Structures.

Abstract

This report describes in detail, three methods of measuring cable tensions on guyed structures. The methods are sag, deflection tensiometer, and vibration. A field comparison of each method was made using the guyed structures at RADC's Stockbridge Test Site. The vibration technique was conceived several years ago for a previous effort and was verified as an accurate and practical method to measure guy cable tensions. Also included in this report is a complete documentation of the cables used on all guyed structures at the Stockbridge Test Site and the results of the cable tension measurements performed for this effort.
