General description of data: 

The data was collected for the ME01 project being carried out in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge under EPSRC grant no. EP/L010917/1 
The ME01 project is a fibre optic instrumentation and dynamic monitoring programme at Norton Bridge, UK, part of the Stafford Area Improvements Programme. 
The strain data was collected using fibre optic monitoring technologies based on fibre Bragg gratings.

Date collected: 2016/07/13
Location: Stafford UK

Instrumented elements names: Operational skewed half-through steel-concrete composite railway bridge
Instrumented element types: Main steel girders

Description: 
Figure 8: Dynamic strain response of main girders due to passenger trains
Figure 9: Spatially distributed strains along the main girders
		
Units: microstrain and date/time (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss)

Column 1 indicates FBG sensor number along length of beam
Row 1 indicates time step (every time step is 0.04 seconds = 250 Hz)
Remaining rows and columns are the measured strain values

Description: Figure 10: Stress distributions along the main girder cross-sections
Units: stress (MPa) and height (metres)

Row 1 = height along girder depth
Column 1 = time step (each time step is 0.04 seconds long)
Columns 2 and 3 = average longitudinal stress calculated from top and bottom strain measured by FBG sensors (midspan sensors)
