The wire rope is a construction element capable to carry high axial tensile loads, and is also very flexible due to insignificant bending strength. The statical supporting ropes are loaded only by tensile loads, and the stress in the rope directly depends on its strain. This dependence is neither linear nor unique. Namely, the geometric nonlinearity of the system must be considered, and besides, the force is also affected by the rope cross section and composition, mode of rope winding, and the history of loading. In this article the geometric characteristics of ropes will be investigated in detail with the aim of more accurate calculation of rope systems. The mechanical properties of wire rope with a hemp core, wire rope with polypropylene core and phillystran rope were determined experimentally.
