Features: The cables of cable-stayed bridges are exposed to the atmosphere for a long time, and the current protection measures are not yet perfect. How to replace the cables that have been damaged due to rust has become a topic that bridge engineers are eager to solve. Replacing cable-stayed bridge cables involves a series of processes and technical steps, such as cable tension measurement, cable damage assessment, removal of old cables, installation of new cables, anchor head replacement, tensioning of new cables, tension adjustment, and bridge safety evaluation. Based on summarizing the practical experience of cable replacement projects in cable-stayed bridges, the author of this book has absorbed research results from foreign studies on cable-stayed bridge load calculations, experimental model analysis, and old cable renewal techniques. For the issues mentioned above in cable-stayed bridge cable replacement projects, the book provides relatively satisfactory solutions, which can be referenced and used by bridge engineers.
