Hanging Structures

Various design solutions of modern hanging systems are considered. The scope of application of hanging systems is determined. The main issues of structural and static schemes, the shape of the plan and geometry of the coating surface, stabilization of hanging coatings, options for transferring the strut forces from the span structure to the support contour are reflected. The designs and materials of load-bearing stretched elements are presented. The characteristics of anchor devices, connecting elements used in hanging structures are given. Special attention is paid to the ropes – “monostrends”. The justification of their advantages in comparison with traditional ropes is given. The problems of their anticorrosive protection, anchor devices, and pre-stressing are presented.
