This paper applies FEA theory on structural dynamic analysis. The relation between forces in cable and its dynamic character-natural frequency has set up by authors. Using the numerical solution, a more accurate measurement model of forces in cable is presented for those cable of suspension bridges in construction and maintenance.184435 bytesapplication/pdfenUniversity of PretoriaTransportBridge constructionsTransportation -- South Africa -- CongressesBridges -- Design and constructionStructural dynamicsStructural engineeringCable structuresEvent
