Abstract

The natural frequencies of the Metsovo bridge during construction are identified both in actual scale and in 1:100 scale. Finite element models of increasing modeling complexity are developed in order to investigate their efficiency in representing the measured dynamic stiffness of the bridge-foundation-soil system. The results highlight the importance of accurately simulating boundary conditions in Structural Health Monitoring applications.
