Reliability and durability assessment of bridge stay cables
An algorithm for the reliability and durability assessment of stay cables in bridges is presented in this study enabling their probability of failure and a safe working period to be determined under various loading scenarios. The algorithm was originally developed based on data collected from an extensive structural monitoring campaign of the biggest single-pylon concrete cable-stayed bridge in Poland and used to assess the durability of its suspension system. It was then modified to be suitable for the evaluation of stay-cables subjected to wind excitation and structural reliability of the suspension system in a real steel bridge where permanent plastic deformations occurred in the anchor zones of the stay cables. The algorithm takes into account analytical models describing the stay cables and their numerical finite element models (FEM). As such, it is a universal tool having a wide range of applications, also beyond stay cables often encountered in medium- and long-span bridges forming a critical part of the civil engineering infrastructure.
