A vertical or inclined compression member in a suspension or cable-stayed structure, supporting the sum of the vertical force components in the primary and guy cables. Inclining the mast enables it to pick up some of the horizontal cable thrust and reduces the force in the guy cables. (Ching, 1995) Photo from Rockland and Westchester County, New York, 2023.
