Experimental Methods and Activities in Support of Earthquake Engineering
Abstract The role of experimental methods as an indispensable element supporting earthquake engineering research activities, is presented. Static, dynamic and pseudodynamic (or hybrid simulation) methods have accompanied and, in some cases, triggered the advancements seen during the last decades in earthquake engineering. Structural response, be it for the design of new structures or for the assessment and retrofitting of existing ones, has been thoroughly studied with the aid of experimentation that produced the necessary volume of data to calibrate numerical models and support code provisions. In the following, through examples of experimental studies employing a variety of testing methods it is shown that experimentation is the sine qua non ingredient for the advancement of earthquake engineering research and practice.
