Abstract (EN): The Laboratory of Vibrations and Structural Monitoring (ViBest) of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto has installed dynamic and wind monitoring systems at the Braga Stadium suspension roof, including two sonic anemometers and various accelerometers operating continuously since 2009, aiming at providing a characterisation of the wind loads on the roof and establishing correlations with the response. This paper presents the most relevant properties of the wind measured on the prototype, establishing correlations with the measured accelerations, in order to validate numerical design studies, and analyses the influence of wind and temperature on the natural frequencies and modal damping ratios.
