Abstract: Dynamic response measurements support bridge monitoring and structural assessment because they are obtainable under operational loading and are sensitive to changes in stiffness, boundary conditions, and mass distribution. This article presents a structured scoping review of dynamic-response-based bridge monitoring and assessment. It covers damage-sensitive indicators, stiffness/capacity proxy inference, interpretation under operational and extreme loading, sensing with acquisition (contact, and indirect/drive-by), and data processing, machine learning and digital-twin integration for decision support. Evidence was identified through targeted searches in Scopus and The Lens with duplicate resolution in Zotero. The cited studies are compiled into a traceable evidence inventory linked to method families and decision objectives. The synthesis shows that global modal properties enable change screening but are highly confounded by environmental/operational variability. Localization and state characterization typically require denser or higher-fidelity sensing and signal conditioning. Finally, capacity-related inference using calibrated conversion models or machine learning (ML) surrogates remains context-bounded and validation-dependent. This review provides an end-to-end pipeline, evidence-maturity rubric, and conservative failure-mode checks with escalation logic that tie SHM outputs to inspection and analysis rather than direct condition declarations for bridge owners. This review is intentionally scoped and does not claim PRISMA-style comprehensiveness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
