## 4 Implementation Analysis of a Reasonable Completion State
### Hanger Tensioning Procedure
#### 4.3.3 Side-Span Passive Tensioning Stage II  
The target hanger force at the end of the side-span passive tensioning stage II was 0.96\(F\), which is relatively big with respect to the bearing capacity and anti-sliding ability of the cable clamp. As the cable displacement during the hanger tensioning process is characterized by the weak coherence when the bridge has been provided with certain stiffness. The hangers closest to the tensioned hanger will be unloaded during hanger tensioning, while the internal forces of the farther hangers will increase. The peaks of the hanger tensioning force and the internal forces of the farther hangers need to be decreased. Thereby, the side-span passive tensioning stage II was divided into two rounds, including round 3 and round 4. The specific steps are shown in Table 6. The target values of control parameters are shown in Tables 7 and 8, respectively.
