For suspension bridges, the super-structure is supported by main cables and hangers which carry the dead and live loads to the pylons and anchorages. Due to the fact that the difficultly of repair and strengthening for damaged cables, it is very important to find an efficient way of maintenance methods for cables. The corrosion is one of main causes for cable damages. The use of dehumidification system can be an alternative for this issue. Therefore, the authors have been evaluated for efficiency of the cable dehumidification system for main cables of suspension bridge. This study was initiated to develop an efficient and economical management strategy to operate the cable dehumidification system for suspension bridges built in South Korea.
