Abstract
Various wide spanned cable-stayed bridges are protected against cable vibrations with vibration absorbers. The focus of the damping measures is to reduce lateral oscillations of the cables. Although reducing vibrations in the effective direction of the installed vibration absorber, it is approved by research that vibrations are influenced transverse to the vibration absorber's effective direction as well. Using hybrid testing methods these phenomenons shall be discovered in detail within an actual research project at the Department of Concrete Structures of the Technische Universität München.
