Abstract

Interferometric radar has been recently proposed as a measurement instrument for dynamic testing/monitoring of large structures, such as bridges, towers, buildings, and dams, which is currently performed by networks of accelerometers. In this paper, the authors report a direct comparison between the two measurement techniques (radar interferometer vs. accelerometers) both employed during a field test on a bridge. As different quantities, displacement and acceleration are measured by the two techniques, a preliminary discussion about signals and noise has been necessary. Finally, the experimental results are critically discussed.
