Remote Hybrid Testing on Bridge System

Abstract:

A networked structural laboratories system for evaluating the seismic performance of large-scale structure systems by seamlessly integrating geographically distributed experimental and computational substructures into a single test is described in this paper. It consists of an independent network based communication platform and various applications. The effectiveness of the proposed system is demonstrated by remote hybrid tests of a six-span bridge system at the Hunan University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Tsinghua University, China and the University of Southern California, USA. Successful application shows the system enables the shared use of testing resources by integrating single structural laboratories into a powerful and networked laboratory with advanced capability.
