• 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.
