Cable Stayed Bridge Standards
Cable Stayed Bridge Standards
(OP)
I anticipate to soon begin a project on a small cable stayed footbridge.
Does anyone know of a standard for cables or strand in cable stayed bridge applications? Or perhaps a more general standard or reference literature that would contain information on safety factors for cable?
Thanks so much.

Also, you need to consider corrosion protection. If you're going to have exposed strands you'll need to select from Class A, B, or C galvanizing. And remember to find out about the lead time for strand fabrication and galvanizing.
