Abstract
The static pushover analysis is becoming a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures. Pushover analysis is a nonlinear procedure in which the magnitude of the structural loading is incrementally increased in accordance with a certain predefined pattern. With the increase in the magnitude of the loading, weak links and failure modes of the structure are found. Static pushover analysis is an attempt by the structural engineering profession to evaluate the real strength of the structure and it promises to be a useful and effective tool for performance based design. The performance point of the structure depends on the lateral load pattern applied on the structure. The choice of lateral load distribution in the process of nonlinear static analysis has a dramatic effect on estimation of the force and the displacement of systems and structural elements.
