This paper aims to evaluate the safety of the cable supported bridges under the occurrence of damages on cable system. There are more than 50 cable supported bridges currently built in the Korean peninsula and efficient and systematic maintenance and management are in great demand. However, safety of the bridges cannot be under estimated and should be properly evaluated. In this paper, two bridges (one cable-stayed bridge and one suspension bridge) in South Korea were investigated their safety based on the damage scenario of cable system. FEM analysis for safety evaluation of the two bridges was conducted and the results were explained. The result could be used by operators and owners of bridges for the future maintenance and management.
