Abstract The paper discusses the main characteristics of some relevant cable structures and demonstrates that, generally, damage occurring in cables is best assessed using local measurements, including installed force mechanical properties. A review techniques to evaluate properties then illustrated with examples from previous experience. specific focus given emerging methods for characterising...
