Optimization of Suspender Cable Force of Long-Span Concrete Arch Bridges Based on Embedded Matrix Method

Table 1

Measured values of suspender cable forces before cable adjustment (suspenders no. 1∼6 in the upstream of the south bank).

Code	Number	Initial measured cable force (kN)	Theoretical value (kN)	Deviation (%)
S-U-1	1	1916	1779	8
S-U-2	2	1987	1938	3
S-U-3	3	1969	1930	2
S-U-4	4	1706	1921	−11
S-U-5	5	1907	1920	−1
S-U-6	6	1845	1918	−4

Note. S-U represents the south bank-upstream.
