Target-force

...

loading

...

is

...

a

...

nonlinear

...

-static

...

or

...

staged-construction

...

application

...

in

...

which

...

cable

...

tension

...

is

...

specified,

...

then

...

deformation

...

load

...

is

...

iteratively

...

applied

...

until

...

that

...

target

...

tension

...

is

...

achieved.

...

If

...

a

...

scale

...

factor

...

is

...

applied

...

to

...

the

...

load

...

pattern

...

which

...

contains

...

a

...

target-force

...

load,

...

the

...

target

...

force

...

will

...

also

...

be

...

scaled.

...

Since

...

tension

...

may

...

vary

...

along

...

the

...

length

...

of

...

a

...

cable,

...

the

...

relative

...

location

...

of

...

target

...

tension

...

must

...

also

...

be

...

specified.

...

Tension

...

may

...

exist

...

in

...

a

...

cable

...

before

...

analysis

...

begins,

...

therefore

...

iterative

...

displacement

...

may

...

be

...

positive

...

or

...

negative.

...

A

...

cable

...

will

...

then

...

exhibit

...

the

...

target

...

force

...

at

...

the

...

end

...

of

...

the

...

load

...

case

...

or

...

construction

...

stage.
