Abstract
This paper presents the results of a cooperative research on remote parallel pseudo-dynamic testing on a base-isolated bridge with multiple piers using Internet between KAIST, Korea and Kyoto Univ., Japan. Experimental facilities located at two institutions were parallelly used to test the nonlinear behavior of the base-isolators. Two data communication schemes for parallel tests were developed and the performance is compared. The results indicate that the elapsed time may vary widely depending on the data communication and testing schemes : i.e. 1-25sec for each time step. But it is fairly comparable with the time required for pseudo-dynamic testing. The testing method can become more powerful, as the data communication and monitoring techniques through Internet improve further.
