Abstract (EN): This paper describes the experimental approach used for the evaluation of dynamic effects of traffic loads on a cable-stayed bridge (Salgueiro Maia Bridge, in Portugal), based on an appropriate strain measurement system, with remote control from the lab, that will allow a long-term monitoring of the structural behaviour, presenting some of the most interesting results obtained from dynamic tests under controlled heavy traffic that were recently conducted at the end of the bridge construction.
