Hangers with intermediate elastic supports are widely used in bridge engineering but
research work about tension estimation in these cables is rare in literature. The presence of …

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

Cost-efficient and theoretically simple vibration-based analyses are widely used to assess
the axial forces of tensioned members. In the determination of cable forces, the applicability …

The development of vibration-based tension determination has increased in recent years.
The effective vibration length concept is one of the most robust methods in dealing with …

This paper presents the solution scheme of using the continuous formulation of 1-D linear
member for the dynamic analysis of structures consisting of axially loaded members. The …

In this study, a direct calculation formula using frequency amplitudes for the first two modes
at two or three locations is proposed to compute the effective lengths of vibration for pre …

In a typical vibration test of tensioned cables, tension forces are mostly estimated from theory
of a vibrating string with the first natural frequency. To obtain slightly better estimations …

Non-destructive evaluation has been developed to identify cable tension for any end-
rotational stiffness condition. One of the existing methods uses multiple vibration …

In this study, a linear model with frequency dependent structural property was used to
generate the corresponding frequency response function and dynamic stiffness for selected …

Inevitably, cable structure is often used as a structural part of either a middle or long-span
bridge, so its existing tension force is essential to be evaluated and monitored periodically …
