Abstract
A novel sandwich composite footbridge is described in this paper, for the first time after it has been put into operation over the Radunia River in the Pruszcz Gdański municipality. This paper presents results of dynamic tests and describes technical monitoring of the footbridge. The dynamic tests were conducted to estimate pedestrian comfort and were compared with the ones from numerical simulations made in the environment of Finite Element Method. A discussion of the obtained results is made then. The characteristics and capabilities of the network of sensors spread over the bridge to monitor its long-term behavior are described.
