Further research is required though, as the influence of other sources of variability on strain mode shapes is not yet known. In the present work, a historical Vierendeel truss bridge is monitored for more than a year with 64 fiber-Bragg gratings and its modal characteristics are automatically...
The feasibility of the methodology has been tested on O Barqueiro Bridge, an aging riveted bridge located in Galicia, Spain. The study first involved a comprehensive experimental campaign to characterize the bridge effectively at multiple levels: geometry, material, and structural system by the ...
The bridge is very amazing for both the aesthetical aspect and the engineering concept. The second bridge was rebuilt immediately after WW2 and represents a typology largely present along the Italian railways. It has three spans of simply supported steel truss beam, for a total length of 142 m...
