**5. Conclusions**

This study conducted an analysis of cable clamp slippage, a common phenomenon in actual bridges. To clarify the force acting on a self-anchored suspension bridge before and after cable clamp slippage, the slipping of a single clamp was used for the analysis. We focused on the forces acting on the hangers, main girder, main cable, and main tower before and after cable clamp slippage in the studied bridge. The main research results are as follows:


In the study of cable clamp slips, it was found that the most direct effect after the cable clamp slips is the change in the force of the hanger. From the perspective of the whole bridge, the slip of the cable clamp will directly lead to the imbalance of the force on the main girder, and this problem will cause the main girder to be subjected to torsion for a long time. Changes caused by the slippage of the cable clamp are often not conducive to the safe use of the bridge. Future research will continue to focus on this area, focusing on the slippage of the cable clamp and the limit of the slippage of the cable clamp. These studies are of grea<sup>t</sup> importance to the safety performance of the bridge.
