Labels:hakham | sky | window OCR: Cable Construction Cable is very strong in tensile strength and is suitable material for pedestrian railings Most cable is flexible for going over pulleys or thimbles or for going around corners For use in railings however one wants rigidity, not flexibility because the cable needs to be as tight (rigid) as possible minimize deflection and meet the code requirement when loadi applied. Cable that Is flexible also stretches but for railings little stretch as possible under tension important. The longer the cable run, the more cable will stretch, which can present installation problems with long cable spans which stretch Flexible cable constructions stretch more than constructions intended to hold static loads Therefore for most guardrail applications we want cable construction designed to ho ...
