M. Iqbal Suharwardy Computers and Structures, Inc. Static Pushover Analysis for Seismic Design March 22, 1999
Purpose
How will a structure perform when subjected to a given level of earthquake?
Definition of structural performance Definition of earthquake level Determination of performance level
Process
Recently released guidelines for Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings:
ATC-40 FEMA 273 (ATC-33)
Linear Static Analysis Linear Dynamic Analysis Nonlinear Static Analysis (Pushover Analysis) Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis
Deformation Measure
Goal is to predict peak response of building and components for a given earthquake
Design Earthquakes cause nonlinear behavior Better understand building behavior - Identify weak elements - Realistic prediction of element demands Less conservative acceptance criteria can be used with consequences understood
Construct Pushover curve Select earthquake level(s) to check Select performance level(s) to check Select acceptance criteria for each performance level Verify acceptance
Capacity Spectrum Method (ATC-40) Displacement Coefficient Method (FEMA 273)
Define Loads
Gravity Lateral load pattern
Pushover Modeling
Definition of Structural Model
3D or 2D Primary and Secondary Elements (components) Non structural Elements Foundation flexibility P-Delta effects
Types
Truss - yielding and buckling 3D Beam - major direction flexural and shear hinging 3D Column - P-M-M interaction and shear hinging Panel zone - Shear yielding In-fill panel - Shear failure Shear wall - P-M-Shear interaction! Spring - for foundation modeling

Generally follows ATC-40 & FEMA 273 Available Pushover Element Types
- 3D truss (axial hinge) - 3D beam (moment and shear hinges) - 3D column (P-M-M and shear hinges) - Shells, Solids, etc. considered linear - Panel zone (later) - 3D column (Fiber hinge) (later) - Shear wall (plasticity model) (later) - Nonlinear springs (later)
