Abstract
Recently developed models for the assessment of the strength and fatigue life of cables are presented and illustrated. The illustrations are based on experimental data and experience gained from the design and assessment of several major cable supported bridges. It is shown how inspection results may be used to update the reliability of cables. The procedure is illustrated using results of Ultra Sonic inspections. Finally, aspects of design and assessment of stay cables are considered. Special emphasis is given to the effect of design philosophy and corrosion protection on the resistance factors for the stay cable resistance.
