The hybrid simulation method refers to a simulation method in which at least one substructure is experimentally tested or numerically simulated, which is integrated with a numerical model of the rest of the structural system. The integration of substructures with the rest of the system is achieved by satisfying deformation compatibility and force equilibrium at the interface of the substructures. The hybrid simulation method has been developed for seismic performance assessment of structures. In recent years, the simulation method is being further expanded to other types of loading such as temperature load due to fire. Section 3.1 of this chapter presents an overview of hybrid simulation methods. In Sect. 3.2 recent developments at the University of Toronto on hybrid simulation methods are presented.
