Abstract
Significant advances have been made in structural health monitoring in recent years, and further breakthroughs have the potential to make structures safer by observing both long-term structural changes and immediate post-disaster damage. However, it is difficult to compare various health monitoring methods since the studies reported in the literature examine different structures and use different evaluation criteria. To provide a basis for common comparisons, this paper describes the first phase in a SHM benchmark problem organized by the IASCASCE Structural Health Monitoring Task Group. This first phase defines a series of simulated measured acceleration records for a scale-model structure, using several different building models and with various damage patterns. The ongoing activities of the Task Group are further detailed at http://wusceel.cive.wustl.edu/asce.shm/ .
