Abstract (EN): This paper reports the work in the context of the SMART_OPS project, which aims to develop a monitoring solution for large movable scaffolding systems (LMSS) with Organic Prestressing System (OPS). The SMART_OPS project includes 2 sets of monitoring systems installed on a Movable Scaffolding System (MSS) for deck spans up to 70m. The MSS built 12 spans near Bratislava between May 2019 and February 2020. In the first stage, it was used a commercial system to get knowledge of the variables under study with state-of-the-art equipment. In the second stage, a customized monitoring system is under development. The monitoring scheme included 2 sonic anemometers, 29 strain gauges and 3 triaxial accelerometers in the first stage. This paper describes the results obtained with commercial equipment to demonstrate in a full-scale MSS under normal operation the advantages and challenges of monitoring. This first experience was also crucial to define the main characteristics of the customized monitoring system. © 2021 International Conference on Structural Health Monitoring of Intelligent Infrastructure: Transferring Research into Practice, SHMII.
