Abstract
A mast is stayed by a shroud separated transversely from the mast by a spreader, and further comprises: a cable anchored with pretension on the mast on the opposite side to the shroud, with a top attachment and a bottom attachment to the mast, on either side of the region of the mast experiencing the maximum stresses, in particular, those induced by the bending moment, and a means for transferring at least some of the transverse forces from the shroud to the cable anchored with pretension.
Claims12
A mast stayed by a shroud separated transversely from the mast by a spreader, the mast further comprising:
- pre-tensioning cable anchored with pretension on the mast on an opposite side to the shroud, with a top attachment and a bottom attachment to the mast, on either side of-the-a region of the mast experiencing the maximum stresses;
- and
- a means for transferring at least some transverse forces from the shroud to the pre-tensioning cable anchored with pretension.
