With the span of cable-stayed bridge increasing, the stay cable becomes longer to obtain the close fundamental frequencies of bridge and cable, and to increase the probability of coupled vibration between cable and girder. Generally, the dynamic characteristics of long cable are determined by the interactions among pylon, cable and girder. One of the most effective vibration mitigation measures is to use mechanical damper for long stay cables of large span cable-stayed bridges. In the conventional design theory for cable damper, it is assumed that the cable's ends are fixed and one end of the damper is connected with cable and the other end is fixed to girder. However, when the span of cable-stayed bridge becomes large and the structure becomes more flexible, the effect of girder vibration on the cable damper performance should be considered. Furthermore, the damping ratio in theoretical analysis is always smaller than in the full-scale cable vibration mitigation tests on actual cable-stayed bridges. Therefore, the relation between girder vibration and the efficiency of cable damper is investigated in this paper. A simplified theoretical model with cable, Kelvin damper and girder is analyzed by complex mode method. Model tests are also carried out to study the influence of girder vibration on the modal damping ratio of cable. Both theoretical andexperimental results show that the girder vibration should be taken into account in cable damper design for long span cable, especially for the coupling vibration with cable and girder.
