Abstract: To advance the technology of structural seismic testing and enhance the influence of structural laboratories, remote structural seismic testing connects geographically distributed laboratories via internet technology to form a networked laboratory system, which represents the inevitable trend of future structural testing technology development. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of remote seismic testing technology for structures, summarizing it on three key aspects: remote pseudo-dynamic testing, remote real-time hybrid testing, and remote shaking table testing. Based on the main problems existing in remote testing technology, it also anticipates to its future research direction, offering guidance and reference for the further development of remote seismic testing technology for structures.
