Interferometric radar has been recently proposed as a measurement instrument for static
and dynamic testing of large structures, such as bridges, towers, dams. At the state of the art,
the equipment has been demonstrated able to follow the displacements of a bridge provided
that vertical bending movements are predominant with respect to torsional ones. In this
paper, the authors propose and experimentally test an advancement of the interferometric
technique able to overcome the previous assumption and to retrieve the effective …
