Question: The cable-supported roof for a summer theater, shown in Figure, is composed of 24 equally spaced cables that span from a tension ring at the center to a compression ring on the perimeter. The tension ring lies 12 ft below the compression ring. The roof weighs 25 lb/ft2 based on the horizontal projection of the roof area. If the sag at midspan of each cable is 4 ft, determine the tensile force each cable applies to the compression ring. What is the required area of each cable if the allowable stress is 110 kips/in.2? Determine the weight of the tension ring required to balance the vertical components of the cable forces.
