Abstract

The Laboratory of Vibrations and Structural Monitoring (ViBest, www.fe.up.pt/vibest) of CONSTRUCT/FEUP has been implementing, since 2007, a significant set of long-term dynamic monitoring systems in large Civil structures with different typologies (e.g. roadway, railway and pedestrian bridges, stadia suspension roofs, wind turbines, concrete dams or high voltage transmission lines). This paper briefly describes some of these applications, showing the interest and potential of the developed technology, as well as of the huge high quality database created, which can be used for joint collaborative research at European level.
