Just trying to get a handle on residual strength relationships in hollow braid spliced ropes. I know, for example, that a standard length, properly tapered bury will yield 90% or better of the original rope strength.
What would happen if we were to do a full bury for the length of the sling, in effect creating a double braid? Would that significantly increase the overall strength of the sling and if so by what theoretical amounts? (Figure A)
What were to happen if we were to do a standard bury but instead of tapering we have the tail exit (as in a whoopie/loopie) and leave the tail as long as the sling, using both tails? In other words making sure that bith tails are used to support the load as parallel lines.(Figure B)
