Abstract
The Yongjong Grand Bridge includes a self-anchored suspension bridge with inclined cable planes. The bridge uses splay bands (cable collars) to flare the main cables at the anchorage, which is located at the end of a stiffening truss. During cable erection, some of the wires at the splay band were expected to experience lateral displacement and/or lift phenomena because of the large flare angles at the splay band. Mockup cable erection tests at the anchorage were carried out to find the degree of displacement of the wires and to determine appropriate measures to deal with these problems. Through these tests, methods to arrange wires at the splay bands were devised and tried, and the selected method was successfully used for the actual bridge.
