In the reconstruction project of cable-stayed system, Dongming Yellow River Bridge is a new type of bridge between the low-pylon cable-stayed bridge and the suspension bridge. In the new type of steel wire cable-stayed system, the sliding cable saddle is set up on the bridge pylon. The adaptive sliding of cable saddle can make the cable force at both sides of the bridge pylon balanced. The sliding cable saddle is the key technology of the new steel wire cable-stayed system. It is necessary to conduct the model test research on the sliding cable saddle. Relying on Dongming Yellow River Bridge, the model design and the implementation method of the performance test of sliding cable saddle are introduced. The cyclic endurance test of cable saddle is completed by intelligent tensioning system. The test results show that the cable saddle has the adaptive sliding function and the good sliding performance and durability, which can meet the demand of the new steel wire cable-stayed system.
