2 C H A P T E R 1 Introduction Background Most suspension bridges in use today have cables composed of thousands of aerially spun, colddrawn, high-strength steel wires, each less than 0.2 inches in diameter. Though a small percentage of the total number there are some suspension bridges that have cables comprised of preformed helical strands.

3 The result of the Newark meeting was an invitation from NCHRP for proposals to develop "Structural Safety Evaluation Guidelines for Suspension Bridge Parallel Wire Cables." The Guidelines were intended to provide better definitions of the factors that affect cable integrity, improve the means of interpreting field data, and lead to greater rigor in assessing cable strength. This resulted in the publication of NCHRP Research Report 534: Guidelines for Inspection and Strength Evaluation of Suspension Bridge Parallel Wire Cables (Mayrbaurl, 2004)
