  2. Reef knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reef_knot

    Joining two ends of a single line to bind around an object. Caveat: Not secure as a bend unless secured by additional knots(ex: overhand). Spills easily if one of the free ends is pulled outward. Does not hold well if the two lines are not the same thickness. ABoK #74, #75, #460, #1204, #1402, #2096, #2573, #2574, #2577, #2580: Instructions

    The two equations that give a maximum axial force are F=σ/sin(α)^2 and F=σ/sin(2α), where α is the angle from the horizontal to the joint. Both should be evaluated for a given problem, and the smaller F of the two is the magnitude of the maximum allowable axial force. The first equation accounts for failure in tension.
