The loss of prestress in cable supported structure is a direct cause of structural deterioration of the structure. Thus, measurement and evaluation of the tensile force acted on a strand consist of the cable system have been a significant technological factor. However, a measurement method of tension for each of strands is not proposed, as well as conservative assessment of cable system is bing adopted in industrial application. This paper proposes a new and effective method for measurement of tensile force in a strand based on ultrasound. Electromagnetic acoustic transducer(EMAT) is used for generation of ultrasound. Tensile force acting on a strand can be measured by characterization of guided waves that propagate along the boundary of geometry. Consequently, proposed method is experimentally verified by some experiments using seven-wire strand.
