“…These, as the names indicate, are used to monitor the pressure in different materials or media, among others: soils, rocks, concrete structures, dams, embankments, or on the contact surface between a structure and the ground. They have basically been applied in civil infrastructures, their use being quite scarce in the building sector, and particularly in historic buildings. In this last context, the use of load cells can be cited as a monitoring technique for structuring monitoring during interventions.…”

Summary The need to obtain the mechanical characteristics for analysis and understanding of the mechanical behaviour of historic buildings is highlighted. Destructive tests and non‐destructive tests are widely used for this purpose; however, they only provide a value associated with a specific instant. Structural health monitoring contributes to the monitoring of specific processes before, during, or after an intervention. Nevertheless, among the available sensors, there is a lack of devices for continuous monitoring of stress variations undergone by masonry structures. In response to this need, a new stress‐measurement device for structural monitoring of masonry structures has been developed. It has the aim of determining the initial stress in masonry structural element and providing continuous control of the evolution of the stress variation. The article describes the design of the device, as well as its implementation in a historic building. Moreover, an assessment is performed of the stress variations registered in comparison with the displacements recorded in the monitored areas, as well as the influence of the thermic fluctuations on these. A good relation was confirmed between these measurements. The results demonstrate that the designed device proved to be a useful tool for monitoring structural strengthening interventions.

<p>The rehabilitation and deck widening of the masonry viaduct over the river Gorgos, built on 1913, is included in the renewal of the historical Alicante railway net. The primary aim of the rehabilitation work was to repair the bridge’s deficiencies caused by the deterioration of the structure, upgrade its capacity to resist the loads included in modern codes and fulfil the railway safety requirements defined by the owner. A bidimensional FE model was carried out in order to assess the structural behaviour of the viaduct, confirming that no global failure occur under the current design loads.</p>
