This book describes the multi-axis substructure testing (MAST)
system, a simulator developed at Swinburne University of
Technology, Australia, which provides state-of-the-art technology
for large-scale hybrid testing of structures under realistic
scenarios depicting extreme events. The book also demonstrates the
responses of physical specimens while they serve as part of the
virtual computer model of the full structure subjected to extreme
dynamic forces. Experimental studies using the MAST system are
expected to enhance design and construction methods and
significantly improve the repair and retrofitting of structures
endangered by natural disasters and man-made hazards, providing a
direct benefit to society by improving public safety and the re
silience of the built environment. An additional benefit is
increased sustainability in the form of reduced direct and indirect
economic losses and social and environmental impacts in the face of
extreme events. This book will be of interest to researchers and
advanced practitioners in the fields of structural earthquake
engineering, geotechnical earthquake engineering, engineering
seismology, and experimental dynamics, including seismic
qualification.
