The paper addresses the application of microwave remote sensing to the vibration response measurement on the stay cables of cable-stayed bridges. The investigation, carried out on the stays of various bridges, clearly highlights: (a) the accuracy of the results provided by the microwave remote sensing; (b) the simplicity of use of the radar technique (especially when compared with conventional approaches) and its effectiveness to simultaneously measuring the dynamic response of all the stay cables of an array; (c) the repeatability of the test with Structural Health Monitoring purposes.
