Abstract: To overcome the limitations of traditional long-span suspension bridges with steel cables, the mechanical behavior of suspension bridges with various fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and hybrid FRP cables have been investigated ...

Abstract: This paper studies the vibration characteristics and damping properties of a newly developed fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) cable with a self-damping function using a model vibration experiment. To verify the self-damping ...

Abstract: This study describes an investigation of vibration characteristics of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and basalt FRP (BFRP) cables that can potentially be used in long-span cable-stayed bridges, compared with the ...
