This study presents the investigation for relationship between local damage and structural performance of the 7-wire strand. This strand is often used additional reinforcement of bridges such as PSC (Prestressed Concrete) bridge and cable-stayed bridge. Stay cables are continuously damaged after completion and corrosion is the main cause of damage. Due to its structural characteristics, it is difficult to quantitatively evaluate the degradation cable damage. Therefore the relationship between local damages on strand and structural performance is experimentally and analytically evaluated in this study. The results can be used for the safety management of the cable supported bridges in the future.
