    The document discusses different types of wire ropes used for hoisting and haulage applications, including their construction, material properties, design considerations for tensile stress, bending stress, fatigue, and bearing pressure on sheaves. It provides data on modulus of elasticity, strength, minimum sheave diameters, and maximum allowable bearing pressures for different wire rope and sheave materials. Design of wire ropes involves specifying the rope type and diameter based on the load to be carried and operational parameters.
