This standard updates and replaces ASCE Standard 19-96. It provides requirements for the structural design, contract documents, shop drawings, fabrication, and installation of carbon steel and
stainless steel cables for use as static structural elements for the support and bracing of buildings and other cable-supported structures not subjected to vehicle loads. It does not cover

procedure, and maintenance considerations. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
