Abstract

Stay cable vibrations occurring on existing cable stayed bridges are most often due to simultaneous rain and wind action. Although stay cable vibrations can be estimated by comparison to cable stayedbridges under similar conditions and by analytical procedures,, most accurate estimates can be obtained by wind tunnel testing. Stay cable vibrations can be prevented by aerodynamic, structural and mechanical measures. The theoretical base and the analysis of stay cable vibrations on the Franjo Tuđman Bridge in Dubrovnik are presented in the paper.
