Abstract:This project has focused on the instrumentation, monitoring and testing of the main span unit of the
VGCS, one of Ohio’s first long-span, cable-stayed bridges and one of only a few dozen such bridges in
service in the nation. This effort looked at five main areas: (1) health monitoring; assessment of the
changes in force distribution and bridge condition during erection and early service, (2) verification of
design assumptions during erection, (3) investigation of the unique design features which have been
incorporated into the VGCS, (4) investigation into the unique erection features and sequencing which will
be used during its construction, and (5) investigation of stay cable vibration which is a general, unresolved
issue for bridges of this type.
