Abstract
The invention relates to a damping arrangement (100) for a cable (102) extending in a tensioned manner from an anchorage (108), said damping arrangement (100) comprising a rigid damping action transfer device (112) which is positively connected to the cable (102) at a predetermined distance (L1) from said anchorage (108), and at least one damping device (110) extending in a damping manner between said damping action transfer device (112) and a constructional element (106) rigidly connected to said anchorage (108), and connected to said damping action transfer device (112) at a further predetermined distance (L2) from said anchorage (108), said further predetermined distance (L2) being shorter than said predetermined distance (L1).
