Pushover analysis is a non-linear static procedure (NSP) used to examine the structural response of a building during the inelastic limit before it reaches the edge of partial or total collapse. In this study a model of multi-story reinforced concrete building along with applied loads is analyzed in powerful non-linear static procedure using computer software ETABS. A limited number of horizontal forces are then applied to imitate the impact of ground movement. The building is supposed as a 6-story building, no shear walls used in the model as the level of earthquake hazard assumed very low. Moreover, deformations are determined. The forces would then be increased gradually, NSPs convert multi-degree of freedom models to single-degree of freedom models utilizing a pushover analysis to determine capacity curve or pushover curve which is horizontal roof displacement vs base shear, This curve plot reveals the highest base motion that the structure can withstand, and then estimate the maximum global displacement by combining a ground response spectrum with the capacity curve.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
