It’s been common in the industry to calculate sag & tension charts for ADSS cables without taking into consideration the influence of creep, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and the difference between the initial and final modulus. Therefore, the sag was provided only as a function of span, weight, and tension, just at the initial state (no final state), and independent of temperature. Another misunderstanding is the confusion between “final state" (after creep) and “loading condition”(wind+ice) which are 2 different cases. Following thorough and repeated AFL stress-strain and creep tests, this paper will show that ADSS cable has both an "initial state” and a "final state", each one of them having an “unloaded” (bare cable) and a “loaded” (ice and/or wind) case, and it's sag & tension are a function of creep and CTE. Additionally, the results of AFL’s work were ultimately implemented in Alcoa sag & tension software: SAG10.
