Bow Truss Cable Tension Support System

This system provides a slender yet high tech solution and it’s often seen in commercial building lobbies.

Bow Truss Cable Tension Support System

This system relies on tensile forces being transferred from the stainless steel cables to the structure above and below.

Two cables follow a parabolic shape to resist wind loads. A discrete cable extends down, just inside the face of the glass to carry the dead load of the glass.

Glass is generally supported on spiders with articulating bolts.
