Abstract (EN): This paper reports on the monitoring and load testing of a new stone masonry arch bridge recently built over the river Vizela in Vila Fria, Felgueiras, located about 60 km from Porto, Portugal. Besides highlighting the scientific purposes subjacent to this bridge construction initiative, the paper addresses basic aspects on the installed instrumentation and provides a general overview of sensor types, location and measured signals, as well as data acquisition and transmission systems. Some of the most relevant result measurements obtained from the load test and their comparison with available numerical analyses are also presented.
