“…Elachachi et al (2006) attempted to develop a probabilistic multi-scale time-dependent model and studied cable behaviour to distinguish the wire, strand, and cable scales, with a complete decoupling among these scales. Toribio and Ovejero (1997), Pennington, Van Raemdonck, Matlock, and Krauss (2011) and Yang, Bae, and Park (2009) investigated the most important factors affecting the mechanical properties and fracture response of steel wires. Numerous other studies have been directed to corrosion, fatigue and a coupled corrosion and fatigue of steel wires (Krishnan & Kumar, 2004;Li, Lan, Ju, & Li, 2011;Mayrbaurl, 2000;Moser, Singh, Kahn, & Kurtis, 2011;Mozos & Aparicio, 2011;Rusk & Hoppe, 2009;.…”
