Hybrid simulation combines the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of computer simulations with the realism of experimental testing to provide a powerful platform for large-scale experimental investigation of the seismic response of structures through collapse. This paper presents applications of hybrid simulation for (1) tracing the seismic response of a limited-ductility reinforced-concrete (RC) column through collapse and (2) evaluating the capability of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) repair on rehabilitating the earthquake-damaged RC column to its initial collapse resistance capacity. A state-of-the-art hybrid testing facility, referred to as the multiaxis substructure testing (MAST) system, was used to simulate complex time-varying six-degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF) boundary effects on the physical specimens using mixed load/deformation modes. Based on the experimental results, a comparative collapse risk assessment of the initial and repaired column was conducted, which illustrates the effectiveness of using CFRP repair to restore and improve the collapse resistance of earthquakedamaged RC columns.
