Hybrid Simulation is a dynamic response simulation paradigm that merges physical experiments and computational models into a hybrid model. In earthquake engineering, it is used to investigate the response of structures to earthquake excitation. In the context of response to extreme loads, the structure, its boundary conditions, damping, and the ground motion excitation itself are all subjected to large parameter variability. However, in current seismic response testing practice, Hybrid Simulation campaigns rely on a few prototype structures with fixed parameters subjected to one or two ground motions of different intensity. While this approach effectively reveals structural weaknesses, it does not reveal the sensitivity of structure's response. This thus far missing information could support the planning of further experiments as well as drive modeling choices in subsequent analysis and evaluation phases of the structural design process.This paper describes a Global Sensitivity Analysis framework for Hybrid Simulation. This framework, based on Sobol' sensitivity indices, is used to quantify the sensitivity of the response of a structure tested using the Hybrid Simulation approach due to the variability of the prototype structure and the excitation parameters. Polynomial Chaos Expansion is used to surrogate the hybrid model response. Thereafter, Sobol' sensitivity indices are obtained as a by-product of polynomial coefficients, entailing a reduced number of Hybrid Simulations compared to a crude Monte Carlo approach. An experimental verification example highlights the excellent performance of Polynomial Chaos Expansion surrogates in terms of stable estimates of Sobol' sensitivity indices in the presence of noise caused by random experimental errors.
