BENCHMARK PROBLEMS
Many algorithms and devices have been proposed for structural health monitoring and control of civil engineering structures, each with its own advantages, depending on the specific application and desired effect. Until recently, definitive studies demonstrating the pros and cons of the different approaches have been unavailable. Clearly, the ability to make direct comparisons between strategies employing various algorithms and devices is necessary to focus future efforts in the most promising directions and to effectively set performance goals and specifications. Benchmark studies intended to help move the structural health monitoring and control community another step toward the realization and implementation of innovative strategies for dynamic hazard mitigation is the focus of this effort
