Abstract: Suspension bridges are critical infrastructure assets that require rigorous inspection and maintenance to ensure their longevity and safety. This research paper presents a comprehensive fatigue analysis and strength assessment of suspension bridge main cables. Utilizing both experimental data and finite element modeling, the study investigates the fatigue behavior, residual strength, and potential failure mechanisms of main cables subjected to dynamic loading conditions. The findings provide valuable insights into the lifecycle management and maintenance strategies necessary to prolong the service life of suspension bridges.
