Study on Multi-Crack Damage Evolution and Fatigue Life of Corroded Steel Wires Inside In-Service Bridge Suspenders
The parallel steel wires used in arch bridge suspenders experience random corrosion damage on their surfaces during service. Corrosion damage, including micro-cracks, pitting, and a combination of both, leads to significant stress concentration under axial loading, which affects the performance of t...
