In this article, we present a vibration measurement system based on low-frequency cantilever-based fiber Bragg grating accelerometers (CFAs) for a suspension bridge. Each accelerometer has an end-loaded cantilever beam, specifically tailored to achieve a uniform sensitivity for a frequency range of 0-4 Hz, a suitable detection range for the vibration analysis. In the field test, seven CFAs were installed at specific positions along the deck of a 110-m-long suspension bridge for synchronous multipoint vibration measurements. The reflection spectra of the CFA array were recorded and processed using the pseudo-high-resolution scheme to improve the signal quality and measurement accuracy. Three natural vibration frequencies: 1.15, 1.54, and 3.17 Hz have been identified from the measurement. Following that, the acquired time-domain signals were processed by a digital bandpass filter to retrieve the waveform at each natural frequency to determine the corresponding mode shapes. The results are in agreement with the phase difference between the frequency domain signal for each natural frequency. This investigation has shown the feasibility of the proposed measurement system for determining the mode shapes and dynamic frequency analysis of a suspension bridge. It is a potential method for structural health monitoring for other similar civil structures.
