The investigations were performed in a Climatic Wind Tunnel Laboratory at the Czech Academy of Sciences in Telč. The icing of the inclined cable model was made experimentally. The shape of the iced model was mapped by a photogrammetry method. The new iced cable model was made by using a 3D printer. The aerodynamic drag, lift and moment coefficients were determined with respect to three principal angles of wind attack within the range of the Reynolds number between 2.5·104 and 13.6·104 at a turbulence intensity of 5 %. It was found that the drag coefficient values of the iced cable model are higher than for a circular smooth cylinder. The obtained results could constitute a basis to formulate a mathematical description of the wind load acting on the iced cables of cable-supported bridges.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.19.083.10862}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/czasopismo-techniczne/article/model-investigations-of-the-aerodynamic-coefficients-of-iced-cables-in-cable-stayed-bridges} }
