Abstract: In long suspension bridges with a small span ratio of side to center, cable slip load against the saddle is large and it is important to grasp its frictional resistance in the design. An experimental investigation is done ...

Abstract: Fatigue tests on a parallel‐wire large‐diameter cable system for cable‐stayed bridges and a detailed review of other fatigue test results are conducted. As a result, it is made clear that as the diameter of a cable increases, ...

Abstract: To increase the frictional resistance between a cable and saddle, a method using a horizontal friction plate is efficient. However, there is no precedent for its use on long suspension bridges. An experimental investigation ...
