Irvine. I got mine from powells.com several years ago for about 10
bucks (it's a Dover soft-cover).
If you want a paper, I recommend: Peyrot, A.H., and A.M. Goulois. 1979.
"Analysis of Cable Structures". Computers and
Structures, Vol. 10. pp. 805-813. It provides a compact, closed-form,
exact solution for inclined linear-elastic catenaries. (My preference
may be biased - Alain Peyrot was my advisor in college and I have used
the equations derived in this paper many times, though I can't seem to
put my hands on the paper right now).
Have fun,
Brian

Subject: Catenary
I'm designing poles for various cable supports up a 30deg slope. I have
equations for horizontal catenary but I need a reference that shows how
cable forces vary in sloped catenary. Does anyone have such a
reference?
