Effective force control method (EFCM) is an implicit integration method to solve nonlinear differential equations, which can be well used in pseudo-dynamic (PSD) tests. However, PSD tests with this method adopting displacement-loading control strategy usually are difficult to carry out if the specimen is too stiff, then a new EFCM using force-loading control strategy is presented in this paper. A force distribution coefficient was designed in the proposed new method to make the loading devices work in force-loading control mode, and a proportional-integral controller was used here to achieve the equivalent force feedback control. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation show that the proposed method is unconditional stable and requires no iteration; the steady-state error can be eliminated if the proper controller parameters were chosen. It is found that test results obtained by force-loading control will be more accurate than those obtained by displacement-loading control for the specimen with large stiffness. This paper shows that this new method can be successfully applied to PSD tests of structures with large stiffness.
