Abstract

The equivalent force control (EFC) method replaces numerical iteration with a feedback control strategy to solve the nonlinear equations of motion in pseudodynamic and real-time substructure tests (RST) using an implicit integration method. The EFC method is briefly introduced first in this paper. Then the effectiveness and accuracy of the EFC method are reported with the full-scale quasi-static pseudo-dynamic tests of reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall structures and a reinforced masonry structure, and the RSTs of an offshore platform with MR damper specimen. It is shown that the EFC method can deliver excellent performance in all cases.
