Abstract
Experience in the field of design and structural analysis of high-speed railway bridges in the last 25 years needs to be fed back to the data obtained from the analysis of the actual behaviour of the structure after commissioning. Aspects as fundamental as the sizing of expansion joints, location of fixed points, the dynamic amplification due to real traffic or the POT bearing behaviour have unresolved unknowns. This project led by ADIF, the Administrator of Railway Infrastructures in Spain, was developed between 2006 and 2009 and was oriented in two ways: continuous monitoring of hundred structures through regular field visits, and the monitoring of four singular viaducts: Viaduct over "Arroyo las Piedras", Viaduct over "Arroyo del Valle" and San Boi Viaduct.
