- Abstract
- The report identifies research and development efforts needed to advance the state-of-the-art in instrumentation and measurement techniques for assessing structural performance. Four topic areas consisting of seismic effects; wind effects; effects due to occupancy, traffic, snow and other loads; and sensor technology were addressed by respective task groups during a two-day meeting of international experts. The forty-eight specific recommendations presented in the report are intended to serve as a research agenda for use by universities, research establishments and funding agencies.
