Abstract:This research report concerns a proposed technique for nondestructive inspection of cable stays for a cable-stayed bridge at Luling, Louisiana. The method proposed used acoustic transmission through the steel cables. The laboratory results shown herein establish the apparent feasibility of the method. Field measurement at the bridge from both ends of a single cable indicate that the cable is free of major faults. The method is not yet considered for practical application because of difficulties encountered in the field. These difficulties are explained in the report. Recommendations are made to improve the practicality of the proposed method.
