Evaluating Damping Model Applied for Cable Tension of Cable-Stayed Bridge

Urban development has recently got the attention of the supervisor and inspector of construction. The researcher must find a method to assess the structural situation. The cables of the cable-stayed bridge are simplistically modeled to evaluate the cable tension that have been defined in this report, through the Euler beam theory of the cables with viscous damping. Owing to simplified assumptions of boundary conditions, the tension of cables and viscous damping coefficient has been found through measured frequencies. The proposed method is experimented with by a cable of the Phu My cable-stayed bridge over the Saigon River in Vietnam.
