Use of Modal Flexibility Method to Detect Damage in Suspended Cables and the Effects of Cable Parameters

Modal flexibility is a widely accepted technique to detect structural damage using vibration characteristics. Its application to detect damage in long span large diameter cables such as those used in suspension bridge main cables has not received much attention. This paper uses the modal flexibilit...
