| Abstract: | While durability and inspectability of the steel tension elements are amongst the primary objectives of good stay cable detailing, these two objectives are contradictory to an extent, because a robust multilayer approach to corrosion protection prevents easy access to the steel tension elements for inspection. The paper describes some non-destructive inspection methods that have been used on stay cables, but also introduces methods used for inspecting prestressing tendons in concrete structures and ground anchors that could be suitable for the surveillance of stay cables. |
