Experimental Studies on Strength of Rope Spliced

Abstract

Splicing is a wellknown method of joinning rope by interweaving the strands, however, we have few reliable data of breaking strength on the rope spliced. Therefore, we examined the strength of steel wire ropes and synthetic fiber ropes joined by various methods of eye and short splices, as the basic research for the study of the problem. We report the results of some measurments and discuss in this paper.
