University of São Paulo, São Carlos School of Engineering, São Carlos, Brazil
ABSTRACT: In this paper vibration measurements were carried out on small scale models of a bridge deck to
obtain their fundamental dynamic properties.The measurements were carried out through accelerometers placed
in strategic positions to obtain the relevant modal data of both slabs and beams of the deck. Unknown excitation ...
