Cables are important components of cable-supported bridges and the measurement of
cable vibration is very useful for the condition assessment of bridges. The recently …

Conventional sensors, such as the accelerometers and velocimeters, are commonly applied
to estimate the vibration of stay cables for the recognition of dynamic response. Such …

Vibration-based approaches have been widely adopted in determining the cable tension
force. The development of effective length concept has been successfully applied in …

This paper reviews contemporary trends in the management of the crisis phase of disasters.
It charts the recent history of emergency preparedness in the light of a basic distinction …

To establish a rigorous mathematical foundation for a recently developed tension
determination method incorporating the mode shape functions, the frequency equations and …

The boundary conditions of the cable in a bridge are generally in the form of imperfect
hinged or fixed ends rather than idealized clamped or pinned ends due to the effects of …

Considering the specific arrangement of boundary constraints for the suspenders of arch
bridge, this research extends a recently developed method to carry out the determination of …

This study proposed an analytical model to characterize in-plane free vibration of a cable
considering sags, inclined angles, and non-negligible bending stiffness to enhance the …

Efficient force identification of bridge cables is important to the performance evaluation of
cable-supported bridges. For this purpose, sensors are conventionally installed on the …

Cables or suspenders are the critical force‐transmitting components of cable‐supported
bridges, and their timely tension monitoring is consequently the most important issue in the …
