Research Abstract

This study develops experimental techniques for earthquake response simulation of large-scale structures using the concept of distributed hybrid testing. The study is characterized by (1) use of online testing, (2) implementation of multiple physical tests in different locations simultaneously, and (3) prosecution of multiple numerical analyses using different program codes. These features are realized by "use of conventional loading systems", "use of general purpose computer codes", "maximum use of encapsulation concept", "data exchange using standard input and output environment", and "applications to a series of actual large-scale tests".
