| Abstract | This Primer is intended to be a practical supplement to NCHRP Report 534, "Guidelines for Inspection and Strength Evaluation of Suspension Bridge Parallel Wire Cables," and FHWA Report No. FHWA-PD-96-001, titled "Recording and Coding Guide for the Structure Inventory and Appraisal of the Nation’s Bridges." This Primer will serve as an initial resource for those involved in the inspection, metallurgical testing, and strength evaluation of suspension bridge cables in addition to providing necessary documentation for recording performed inspections, testing, and strength evaluations. Furthermore, this document is intended to provide field inspectors, technicians, and/or engineers with the necessary forms and information they need to perform an inspection. |
