Abstract Cable force estimation is essential for security assessment of cable-stayed bridges. methods based on the relationship between cable and frequency have been extensively studied used during both construction phase service phase. However, effect induced by inclination angle not included in establishment frequency-cable as horizontal model normally employed. This study aims to investigate...

Inclined cables are essential structural elements that are used most prominently in cable stayed bridges. When the bridge deck oscillates due to an external force, such as passing traffic, cable vibrations can arise not only in the plane of excitation but also in the perpendicular plane. This undesirable phenomenon can be modelled as an auto-parametric resonance between the in-plane and out-of-...

The recent developments in measurement technology have led to the installation of efficient monitoring systems on many bridges and other structures all over the world. Nowadays, more and more structures have been built and instrumented with sensors. However, calibration and installation of sensors remain challenging tasks. In this paper, we use a case study, Adige Bridge, in order to present a ...
