15、0.6 interpretations No. 1 Interpretation: 6-1 Subject: ANSIIASME B30.6-1984 Date Issued: March 4, 1986 Question: Why is the dead end of the wire rope that runs through a wedge socket, as illustrated in Section 6-1.3.5(f) and Fig. 9, not secured to the live end with clips? Reply: Attaching the dead e
16、nd of the wire rope to the live sides of the line with the clip will significantly reduce the strength of the wire rope and the wedge sockets efficiency. The clip fastened to the live end could ultimately transfer the applied loads, act as a stress riser, and deform and break the wire rope. The fastening recommended in ANSIIASME B30.5 and B30.6 is not new or unproven. It has been successfully applied and publicized from the early 1970s.
