Abstract (EN): This work constitutes a synthesis of the cumulative experience at Faculdade Engenharia Universidade do Porto (FEUP) on the structural health monitoring (SHM) of four bridges in Portugal, of different bridge typologies and materials: a stress-ribbon footbridge, a metallic roadway bridge, a mixed construction railway bridge, and a centennial metallic one-way bridge. After a simple technical introduction of this non intrusive SHM technique, the work is mainly devoted to the description and observations of the three bridge situations mentioned above, which constitute three case studies. Thereafter, for each case study is described the evaluation of results with such technical equipment, as well as the comparison with akin results obtained for the same case studies either by structural computational modelling or by other intrusive SHM techniques, in order to ascertain the accuracy of this non-intrusive radar interferometry method.
