A study performs estimation of fatigue safety that is considering cross-sectional loss of cable by applying foreign regulatory review. Because of steel cable-stayed bridge cable`s corrosion which is occurred after construction completion more than 30 years. Analysis result, all cable members secure fatigue safety considering cross-sectional loss of cable.
The suspension bridge’s main cable requires regular checks for the decrease on the axial forces of the cable band bolts. In this paper, basic concepts are presented for the approach on the management of cable band bolts in suspension bridges. In additions, the reasons for the decrease of axial forces are investigated with various aspects and some measurement methods for the axial forces are presented as well.
This study is to invest safety against the local corrosion of steel pylon in the Dolsan bridge(Cable-stayed type). For the investigation, visual inspection, non-destructive testing using the high resolution camera and ultrasonic thickness gauge with the structural analysis were completed. In the result of the safety check, no problem of steel pylon is detected. Cause of corrosion is damage on steel surface during early stage of the construction.
