Abstract The interface force condition on the cross section of parallel steel wire strands is an important basis for studying the longitudinal friction and slip behavior of wires. In this study, force-chain superposition was proposed to solve the transmission and distribution of transverse forces between parallel wires. The calculation rules for the basic parameters in the solution were determined, and a wire-drawing experiment was designed to verify their applicability. A two-dimensional discrete model corresponding to the cable cross section was established. According to the source and characteristics of the transverse load, the force system is decomposed into two directions to form two force chain analysis paths so that the model assumptions can be applied properly. A recursive algorithm was proposed to solve the two force chains, and symmetry conditions were applied at the coupling position to make the system self-consistent. The normal forces acting on the interface points were obtained by superimposing the results onto the two force chains and were verified against finite element analysis (FEA) results. A long-span cable-stayed bridge was considered as an example to investigate the interface force condition of its cables, based on which the approximate development length of the broken wires and the interface extrusion force of the multilayered beam model were established. The results indicate that the slight twisting of the parallel wire strands under the action of a large cable force provides 85% of the total interface forces, and the normal force is significantly concentrated in the central area of the cross section. The approximate development length of the central wire is only 25.9% of that of the outermost wire, and the minimum slip friction force between the layers accounts for only 21.2% of the maximum value for the multilayered beam model, confirming that the interface force condition has a significant impact on the longitudinal friction and slip behavior of cable wires. |
