Type of Analyses in Seismic Enviroment: Pushover Analysis

This document discusses different types of seismic analyses including linear modal response spectrum analysis, nonlinear pushover analysis, and linear-nonlinear time history analysis. It provides details on pushover analysis, specifically that it is a nonlinear static analysis that calculates the nonlinear force-displacement relationship of a structure. The analysis applies monotonically increasing lateral loads until reaching a target displacement in a displacement-controlled method. Vertical load distribution patterns and methods for determining the target displacement are also outlined.

Differences:
Modal analysis:
- calculates the peak values of internal forces and displacements
(for a specified a
g
acceleration and response spectrum)
Time history analysis:
- calculates the actual internal forces and displacement at each time t
i
(for a specified acceleration-time diagram)
Pushover analysis:
- calculates the nonlinear force-displacement relationship of
the structure, gives information abot the structure behavior at the
predefined performance level
Push over analysis
Nonlinear (geometrical and material) static analysis
- Constant vertical loads
- monotonicaly incrased horizontal load pattern until reach the target displacement
