Abstract:One of the four vertical struts in the 1232-foot long Paseo Suspension Bridge fractured on January 22, 2003. Fatigue in normal conditions, overstressing and thermal contraction as a result of frozen pin conditions, as well as reduction in fracture toughness at low temperatures were identified as four relevant factors. To ascertain the most likely reason(s), material, fatigue, aad fracture tests were performed on samples of the strut material while the bridge and strut were analyzed under service loading conditions...
