Study on behavior due to creep of cables in short and medium size unstiffened suspension bridges

Abstract

This paper sets forth a influence exerted by cable creep on change in the status of small-scale suspension bridges. It also presents methodology for action to repair the configuration in the event of deformation. Furthermore, it obtained the conclusion that it is possible to estimate the amount of creep strain from the configuration of the road surface based on data acquired from the results of periodic checking.
