The control of very flexible bridge structures has not been studied to the extent that buildings have.As a result,little expertise has been accumulated.Thus,there is a consensus within the community that a benchmark problem at this stage would be premature.in its place,it is proposed that an analytical feasibility study be performed on a well-studied and documented bridge model,in order to identify and resolve important issues and problems associated with attempting to control a flexible bridge structure.Perhaps most importantly,since active control of medium and long span bridges has little history associated with it,the study will remain as open-ended as possible.
