John I had a couple of questions. I was wondering how the cable would be supported ( or not) ? Would there be friction between the conduit and cable due to bends in the cable or gravity? I know in prestressed concrete there are pretty sizable losses in tension due to friction, though I realize the magnitude of forces are considerable different.. I'm not familiar with how the longer length cables are suspended or supported. It would seem that even short suspended cables would have a catanary (spelling?) shape which would change with distance between supports and thus the cable might not stretch the same amount as the ground moves. I guess could be calibrated and the strains corrected. I am also very interested in your progress and findings.
