Building a treehouse in the redwood grove of a neighbor (pics included)

For designs involving steel cable and human safety, the basic safety factor applied was 5. IOW, 14,000/5 = 2,800 pounds as the basic design limit. Dynamic loading would apply another 50% derate. IOW, 2,800*50% = 1,400 pounds for dynamic loads. Based on the posts I have seen, your group needs some serious help before people get hurt or worse. Lew Hodgett, PE Retired ----------------------------------------------------- What I forgot to include was that the above design loads are for tensile loads. Bending loads require a further derate. The reader is left to determine the value from any decent structural engineering text. And now you know one of the reasons why I'm retired. Lew Hodgett, PE Retired |
