Abstract (EN): The paper describes the development of the numerical model of a non-reinforced concrete arch bridge with 78 m chord constructed in 1940 in Portugal, over the river Tua. This model has been calibrated on the basis of experimental data obtained from the continuous dynamic monitoring of the bridge, allowing for a better understanding of the corresponding structural behavior. In particular, the influence of temperature effect is addressed, which is relevant in order to adequately identify potential damage caused by site works in the vicinity.
