Whenever adeadman composed of wood is used, apply a bearing plate to prevent the cable fromcutting into the wood. The two types of bearing plates are flat and formed, eachwith its particular advantages. The flat plate is easily fabricated. The formedbearing plate can be made of a thin piece of steel. (Refer to figure 17.)Flat. Given the size of the deadman face and the diameter of the overhead cable,flat bearing plates can be designed using table 12.Formed. Given the size of the deadman face and the diameter of the overheadcable, the dimensions for a formed bearing plate can be determined using table 13.xxFORMEDFLATFigure 17.
