Provided is a wire rope with a reflective tape (or a fluorescent tape), in which a reflective tape (12) (or a fluorescent tape) is wound around an outer periphery of a wire rope (11), and further having on its outer periphery a protective layer (13) formed of a translucent member, thereby improving visibility of the wire rope at nighttime, etc., and a cable-type traffic barrier using the wire rope with the reflective tape (or the fluorescent tape).

A structural cable of a construction work. The structural cable including a bundle of load-bearing tendons, a first sheath containing the bundle of tendons, a second sheath arranged around the first sheath, the second sheath comprising windows, and a plurality of light-radiating modules configured to radiate light, each light-radiating module being arranged within the structural cable to radiate light through at least one window outwardly relative to the structural cable.

An illuminated retractable strap assembly includes a rotatable strap spool, a strap structure having a first end fixed to the strap spool and a second end having a connector. The assembly includes a retraction mechanism for retracting the strap structure, the strap structure includes one or more elongated optical fibers for transmitting light between a first and a second end of the fibers and an outer covering allowing at least part of the light originating from the one or more elongated optical fibers to be transmitted through, a light source arranged in connection to the first end or to the second end of the fibers, and a power source.

The structural cable comprises a bundle of load-bearing tendons extending between upper and lower anchoring devices, a first sheath containing the bundle of tendons, and a second sheath arranged around the first sheath, with a gap between the first and second sheaths.

The structural cable (10) comprises a bundle of load-bearing tendons (15) extending between upper and lower anchoring devices, a first sheath (20) containing the bundle of tendons, and a second sheath (22) arranged around the first sheath, with a gap between the first and second sheaths.

A structural cable of a construction work. The structural cable comprises: a bundle of load-bearing tendons (20), a first sheath (26) containing the bundle of tendons, a second sheath (28) arranged around the first sheath, the second sheath comprising windows (31), and a plurality of light-radiating modules (46) configured to radiate light, each light-radiating module being arranged within the structural cable to radiate light through at least one window outwardly relative to the structural cable.

A rope for a hoisting device, in particular for an elevator, includes at least one continuous load bearing member extending in longitudinal direction of the rope throughout the length of the rope, the load bearing member being made of composite material including reinforcing fibers embedded in polymer matrix. The composite material includes capsules embedded in the polymer matrix, the capsules storing monomer substance in fluid form. An elevator includes a rope of the aforementioned kind and a method for condition monitoring of a rope of an elevator.
