Probabilistic Assessment of the Safety of Main Cables for Long-Span Suspension Bridges considering Corrosion Effects

This paper presents a reliability analysis to assess the safety of corroded main cables of a long-span suspension bridge. A multiscale probability model was established for the resistance of the main cables considering the length effect and the Daniels effect. Corrosion effects were considered in th...
