In this paper, three loading control methods of structural seismic test along with software developments and applications are introduced: (1) quasi-static test method and control software TUST; (2) multi-dimensional quasi-static test method and control software TUMT; (3) pseudodynamic test method and control software TUT, 2D and substructuring techniques. The alpha-method and PC- Newmark method were employed in TUT. All of the three tests loading control software that is based on the platform of Windows NT and Visual C++ have been put into practice in structural laboratory of Tsinghua University.
