摘要

Recent inspections of cable-stayed bridges have led to discovery of significant deterioration that appears alarmingly consistent across many types of cable-stayed bridges and stay cable designs. Results have shown that sound construction and design practices must take into account durability and maintenance of cables to assure adequate service life. This paper describes observations and findings from a recently completed evaluation program for the stay cables of the Luling Bridge in Louisiana. For this program, unique access methods and advanced non-destructive techniques were utilized. In addition to widely publicized vibration related problems, a series of shortcomings and damage associated with the design, fabrication, and installation of stay cables were discovered. Deck-level anchorages in this bridge have been exposed to corrosive environment due to damaged seals and joints, and lack of proper drainage. A variety of damages to the corrosion barriers along the cable free lengths were observed, in some cases resulting in exposure and corrosion of the main tension elements. Aging, residual strains, temperature effects, and fatigue in the cable cover pipe were recognized as major sources for these problems. A damage severity rating system was established based on criticality of damages and need for action. Thirty nine out of total of the 72 cables were rated critical and therefore require timely corrective action. It is believed that the observed damages could be present and potentially threaten the integrity of other bridges with similar cable systems.
