Abstract (EN): This work describes some of the most interesting aspects of the experimental and numerical dynamic analyses of the Luiz I Bridge, an old arch double-deck iron bridge, when subjected to the moving loads of the new light metro of Porto. Presented are the methodology and computational tools developed, as well as some of the most significant results obtained from numerical simulations conducted on the basis of an experimentally calibrated finite-element model, both in terms of structural safety and of the comfort of pedestrians and train passengers.
