“…Among the 180 recordings with lower wind speeds, the ones dominated by high frequency vibrations were removed 181 from the data, assuming the traffic-induced vibrations were profound. Moreover, the remaining 182 acceleration data were passed through a low-pass filter with 1 Hz cut-off frequency, since it is expected 183 that wind-induced response of the bridge is in the low frequency (0-1 Hz) range (Brownjohn et al 1994; 184…”

10Wind-induced vibrations of the Hardanger Bridge deck were studied with reference to turbulence 11 characteristics at the bridge site to evaluate the performance of the state-of-the-art methods for buffeting 12 response analysis. Long-term monitoring data from an extensive monitoring system were used to obtain 13 the bridge vibrations and wind characteristics. The acceleration response of the bridge was calculated 14 in the frequency domain using multimode buffeting theory. Design regulations were used directly and 15 also modified using measurement data to deduce the wind turbulence spectra. The aerodynamic 16properties of the bridge section obtained from previous wind tunnel tests were used in the analyses. The 17 predicted root mean square (RMS) acceleration response was compared to the measured response. The 18 analysis using the design methodology gave underestimations of the measured responses. The use of 19 average values of wind statistics obtained from the monitoring data only slightly improved the results. 20When the variability of the wind field was reflected into the design method by using the probability 21 distributions of the wind field parameters, more satisfactory design curves were obtained. 22

“…The original ambient vibration study (Brownjohn et al 1987) and the 1990/1991 extended monitoring (Brownjohn et al 1994) served the purpose of validating simulation software to be used for analysis and design of other bridges. Specifically, the finite element analysis procedure validated in the 1985 test was used for studying seismic response of the two Bosporus crossings (Dumanoglu et al 1992;Dumanoglu and Severn 1987), while the 1990/1991 study validated procedures for simulating the in-wind performance of the proposed Messina Straits Bridge (Diana et al 2003).…”

“…Humber was subsequently used for validating modeling procedures for simulating wind induced response of the performance of proposed 3300m span Stretto di Messina suspension bridge [19]. To this end, an instrumentation project was sponsored by Stretto di Messina Spa, organised by Politechnico di Milano and assisted by University of Bristol, ISMES Bergamo and Humber Bridge Board [3].…”

“…Bridge monitoring programs have historically been implemented for the purpose of understanding and eventually calibrating models of the load-structure-response chain [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. One of the earliest documented systematic bridge monitoring exercises, by Carder [10], was conducted on the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges in San Francisco to learn about the dynamic behaviour and possible consequences of an earthquake.…”

Monitoring programs on four very different highway bridges originating from a range of requirements related to calibration of numerical models, assessment of load capacity and long term tracking of performance are summarized in order to draw out lessons relevant to the future development of structural health monitoring 'systems'. These lessons concern validation of structural models, appropriate methods for instrumentation, communication, data management and system identification. The paper presents experience obtained by collaboration in a form intended to educate, by example, bridge operators about potential and limitations of SHM systems.
