A case study published in « Case Studies in Construction Materials », 06/2015.This paper presents results of a failure analysis study to characterize the damage phenomenon that occurred in prestressed steel cables of a suspension bridge. Results from fatigue tests and fractographic study allow to the conclusion that the main cause of cable failure, which led to a collapse of the bridge, was stress corrosion cracking (SCC).
