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 …

Dynamic analysis is the best and most accurate type of analysis for accurate evaluation of
structures. However, being time consuming and the need for experience in reviewing the …

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

In order to overcome the major drawbacks of conventional pushover methods, researchers
have recently been motivated to develop adaptive pushover procedures by which effect of …

Seismic assessment of a building will typically require consideration of its nonlinear force–
displacement response. Such information can be estimated from pushover analysis, also …

Background Seismic analysis of structures is required for the design of high-rise building as
these are hazards that threat the built environment and human life. However, it was …

Seismic evaluation of existing structures is based on determining the damage likely to occur
during the lifetime of these structures due to earthquake ground motion excitation. However …

The main purpose of this article is to develop an alternative adaptive pushover method in
which multiple inelastic response spectra proportional to the instantaneous ductility ratio of …

Three different Nonlinear Static Methods (NSM's), based on pushover analysis, are applied
to a 3-story, 2-bay, RC frame. They are (i) the Capacity Spectrum Method (CSM), described …

An accurate estimation of the applied load pattern is an essential component in each
pushover procedure. Recently, a number of adaptive pushover methods have been …
