This is a link to a technical summary released by the Minnesota Department of Transportation on a system that
analyzes accelerometer data from sensors on the I-35W St Anthony Falls Bridge. The data shows how the concrete
structure bends and deforms in response to traffic loads, wind, and temperature changes.
