An experimental investigation on friction behavior of saddle with horizontal friction plate was done using a prototype. On basis of the results, an analysis model was constructed. Friction mechanism of the saddle of a real suspension bridge was analyzed by the model. As the result, the mechanism was made clear. Furthermore, the result was adopted for the design of Tokyo Port Link Bridge. As an example, a reasonable design frietion coefficient was established for the bridge.
