Maintenance Strategies of Main Cable for Large Span Suspension Bridges Considering Different Scales

Article Preview

Abstract:

Like all other civil engineering structures, suspension bridge is subjected to long-term formidable environment, such as fatigue and corrosion. After its open to traffic, degradation and damage of its components appear in suspension bridges, which cause the reduction of bearing capacity and reliability of suspension bridges. Therefore, the service safety of suspension bridges is a topic of importance, particularly for its managers. This paper provides maintenance strategies for managing and maintaining the structural safety of suspension bridge in a life cycle framework in order to rationalize maintenance actions, economically.
