Assessment and monitoring of dangerous factors in the area of steel ropes splicing

Abstract

In the article, the authors conduct research on the assessment and control of hazards in the area of steel ropes splicing. The obtained results made it possible to clarify the reasons for the formation of dangerous factors such as: "undulation", wire strands breaks and loss of diameter of the steel rope. The main reason for the occurrence of dangerous factors is the uneven loading of wires and strands in the cross section of the steel rope. With the existing manual method of jointing, it is technologically impossible to ensure the uniformity of loading of all tucked strands, due to errors occur-ring on the length of each tucked strand, which directly depends on the human factor (experience and professionalism of the splicer) in the course of work. The authors propose a new method of jointing steel ropes using a polymer core, which is a conductor, which allows to exclude the hu-man factor and to keep in place of jointing the permissible values of defective indicators by diameter.
