Abstract
A major concern in seismic performance testing is whether the loading conditions imposed on a test specimen are representative of those that might occur during an actual earthquake. An on‐line computer‐controlled experimental procedure has been recently developed that appears to combine the simplicity of quasistatic testing with the realism of shaking table tests. The basis of this so called pseudodynamic test method is summarized in this paper. Recent research results are examined to identify the method's capabilities and limitations. Efforts to extend the applicability of the method are highlighted.
