Description

These Recommendations pertain to the design, testing, and installation of stay cables for cable stayed bridges using prestressing wires, strand, or bar as the main tension element. Recommendations are presented only for stay cables used in redundant cable-stayed bridges.

These Recommendations are intended to be used in conjunction with the appropriate provisions of the “LRFD Bridge Design Specifications,” from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO LRFD).

This edition supersedes all previous editions. Standards and specifications shall refer to the latest edition unless a specific date is given.

Updated items include saddle testing provisions, fire resistance qualification testing and vibration control system requirements.
