I apologize to both you and the web. The book is
Cable Structures by Max Irvine and it was published by
Dover Books. The paperback version has the ISBN of
0-486-67127-5
It was originally published by MIT Press in 1981. Mr Irvine
was (is?) a Professor of Civil Engineering at the University
of South Wales in Australia.
I was given the book by an old engineering friend of
mine. I was fascinated by the approach and spent
about three weekends at the Iowa State University
library looking up towers and cable structures. I found
that most of the good work in the academic literature on
cable structures was done by, or is based on, Prof.
Irvine's work.
The book is a little heavy on the math, but doesn't get
into matrices so it is easy to follow.
