Abstract

The bridge over the Adda river at Paderno, opened in 1889, is one of the most important monuments of 19th century iron architecture. Notwithstanding the lack of maintenance and the poor state of preservation, the historic infrastructure is still used as a combined road and rail bridge. The paper focuses on the ambient vibration modal testing and analysis, performed on the bridge between June and October 2009, in order to address a Structural Health Monitoring program based on a continuous dynamic monitoring system.
