The research thoroughly characterizes the dynamic behavior of four representative masonry bridges from the Apulia Region in Southern Italy through detailed experimental campaigns. These campaigns employed calibrated and optimally implemented accelerometric monitoring systems to acquire high-quality dynamic data under controlled excitation and environmental conditions. The selected bridges include the Santa Teresa Bridge in Bitonto, the Roman Bridge in Bovino, the Roman Bridge in Ascoli Satriano and a moderner road bridge on the Provincial Road SP123 in Troia; they span almost two millennia of construction history. The experimental framework incorporated several non-invasive excitation methods, including controlled vehicle passes, instrumented hammer impacts and ambient vibration tests, strategically chosen for optimal signal quality and heritage preservation. This investigation demonstrates the feasibility of capturing the dynamic behavior of these complex and specific historic structures through customized sensor configurations and various excitation methods. The resulting natural frequencies and mode shapes are accurate, robust, and reliable considering the extended data set used, and have allowed a rigorous seismic assessment. Eventually, this comprehensive data set establishes a fundamental basis for understanding and predicting the seismic response of several three-span masonry bridges to accurately identify their long-term resilience and effective conservation planning of these valuable and vulnerable heritage structures. In conclusion, the data comparison enabled the formulation of a predictive equation for the identification of the first natural frequency of bridges from geometric characteristicsThis research was funded by Project CSLLPP/ReLUIS REP. n.3561 and the S-MoSES (Smart Monitoring for Safety of Existing Structures and Infrastructures) Project (Research Project of National Interest, PRIN2020) by the MUR (Italian Ministry of University and Research).MDPI AGMinistero dell'Università e della RicercaRepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20252025-09-30journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/230055reponame:RiuNet.
