This study presents the ULMM(unstrained-length-modification method) to determine the cable tension consistent with target tension after arrangement of cable-members by controlling the unstrained length of cables. This method used to be shown to determine the exact unstrained length for cable-supported bridge with elastic catenary cable. The some verification examples show to determine the unstrained length that satisfies the target tension and to obtain the satisfactory result for cable-supported bridge. Accordingly this modification method of the unstrained length in this study is used to introduce the satisfactory target tension.
