Abstract
The monitoring of cable-stayed bridges has a core aspect: the cables. They are a significant component of the structural skeleton and are in so large number that a one-by-one response measurement is often too ambitious. In this paper, a footbridge is studied with only 16 cables in double symmetry. Despite the evident simplification of the problem, several aspects met in the process of collecting the data are worth being reported.
