Introduction
• It is nonlinear static analysis and it hasn’t been
approved by ASCE 7.
• It’s used by ASCE 41-6 for seismic rehabilitation and
it’s used for design new structure by FEMA p-750
Why pushover?
• Performance-based need inelastic
deformation or damage structure which
cannot be obtained from elastic analysis and
non-linear THA is time-consuming
• It is good enough for design, however it
cannot predict response of structure except
non-linear THA can do that
Basic Overview of Pushover Analysis
• Pushover consists of two parts:
– Develop pushover curve
– Predict target displacement
• Capacity spectrum approach (ATC 40)
• Simplified approach (FEMA 273, NEHRP)
• Uncoupled modal response history
• Modal pushover
Capacity Curve (ATC 40 approach)
• Create model and design based on gravity load
and ELF or RS
• Apply plastic hinge to the model
• Analyze modal analysis
• Assume lateral inertial force distribution
• Construct pushover curve
• Convert pushover curve to capacity curve
• Develop demand curve
• Calculate performance point
Development of Pushover Curve

• Create model
• Define load pattern for pushover analysis
