The recent drive for use of performance-based methodologies in design and assessment of
structures in seismic areas has significantly increased the demand for the development of …

Pushover 分析方法是逐渐得到广泛应用的一种评估结构抗震性能的简化方法,
已被引入我国新的建筑结构抗震设计规范. 侧向力分布的选取是结构Pushover …

The Marmara Region (NW Turkey) has experienced significant earthquakes (M> 7.0) to
date. A destructive earthquake is also expected in the region. To determine the effect of the …

In recent years some adaptive pushover methods have been proposed to include the effects
of the higher modes and the changes in the vibration characteristics during the inelastic …

The earthquake loads imposed to the structures are generally much more than what they are
designed for. This reduction of design loads by seismic codes is through the application of …

Traditional pushover analysis is performed subjecting the structure to monotonically
increasing lateral forces with invariant distribution until a target displacement is reached; …

The present study aims at validating pushover methodologies for RC frame structures
through comparison with Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA). A large number of simulated …

Nonlinear static analysis (or pushover analysis) has been widely used in the last decade as
a simplified and approximate method to evaluate the structural seismic performance and to …

Due to the unvarying nature of the applied displacement loading vector, conventional
(nonadaptive) displacement-based pushover analysis can conceal important structural …

Nonlinear static methods are not always effective in the assessment of multi-storey
asymmetric structures because of the errors committed in the evaluation of the deck rotation …
