Probabilistic Assessment of the Safety of Main Cables for Long-Span Suspension Bridges considering Corrosion Effects

Table 2

Corrosion stages in the critical cross section.

	Ring 1	Ring 2	Ring 3	Ring 4	Ring 5	Ring 6
Sector 1	3.5	3	3	2	2	2
Sector 2	4	3	3	2	2	2
Sector 3	4	3	3	3	2	2
Sector 4	4	3	3	3	2	2
Sector 5	4	3.5	3	3	3	3

Note: Ring 1 was the ring near the surface; corrosion stages in Sectors 6, 7, and 8 were the same as Sectors 4, 3, and 2, respectively.
