Real-Time Hybrid Simulation

Caption

The image above shows a real-time hybrid simulation of a multi-story building and its piping system subjected to a severe earthquake. The simulation was performed at the Lehigh NEES RTMD Seismic Simulation Facility. Experiments similar to this, but with added complexity to capture soil-foundation effects and demands from other natural hazards will be performed at the Lehigh NHERI Experimental Facility.
