Abstract (EN): This paper describes the work involving the dynamic monitoring of the Trezoi railway bridge aimed at the fatigue assessment of local vibration fatigue phenomena associated with critical sections. Besides giving an overall perspective about the work that has been developed on this structure, this document provides an additional contribution in the description of the instrumentation installed on the bridge and the corresponding dynamic monitoring system in terms of its general architecture. Specific details regarding instrumentation, hardware and software are outlined. Some obstacles related to the correct functioning of the monitoring system are mentioned as well.
