Abstract
Firstly, this paper presents a review of the main steps for simulating floating bridge behaviour. Both time-domain and frequency-domain approaches are presented. An exemplified model setup and simulation results from the selected case study are presented. Secondly, data obtained from extensive structural and environmental monitoring of the studied bridge are presented. Data analyses attempting to visualize the correlations between excitation sources and response quantities are discussed. Finally, an operational modal analysis is carried out, to attempt to identify the modal parameters from response measurements only.
