      abstract = {This book describes the multi-axis substructure testing  (MAST) system, a simulator developed at Swinburne  University of Technology, Australia, which provides  state-of-the-art technology for large-scale hybrid testing  of structures under realistic scenarios depicting extreme  events. The book also demonstrates the responses of  physical specimens while they serve as part of the virtual  computer model of the full structure subjected to extreme  dynamic forces. Experimental studies using the MAST system  are expected to enhance design and construction methods and  significantly improve the repair and retrofitting of  structures endangered by natural disasters and man-made  hazards, providing a direct benefit to society by improving  public safety and the re silience of the built environment.  An additional benefit is increased sustainability in the  form of reduced direct and indirect economic losses and  social and environmental impacts in the face of extreme  events. This book will be of interest to researchers and  advanced practitioners in the fields of structural  earthquake engineering, geotechnical earthquake  engineering, engineering seismology, and experimental  dynamics, including seismic qualification.  .},
