Abstract
In the present paper, the Substructure On-Line test(SOT) was conducted to simulate dynamic behaviors of reinforced concrete(RC) structures obtained by the shaking table test. The implicit integration scheme developed by the authors was introduced into the SOT system as a numerical integration-control algorithm. First, issues for conducting the SOT successfully were rigorously reviewed. Then, on the basis of the said issues, the results by the shaking table test were evaluated to establish a lumped-mass model with suitable damping mechanism for the SOT. The results by the SOT were compared with those by the shaking table test. It was confirmed that the SOT can simulate dynamic behaviors of structures reasonably well and the implicit integration scheme is also effective even under severe conditions.
