Types of Structural Analysis Of the four combinations, the LINEARINELASTIC and the NONLINEARELASTIC behavior are unlikely to happen in practical structural cases. Hence, only the LINEAR-ELASTIC and the NONLINEAR-INELASTIC cases are entertained. They will simply be called STRUCTURE: MATERIALS, GEOMETRY LINEAR AND NONLINEAR behavior, respectively. 7

Types of Structural Analysis LINEAR STATIC PROCEDURE (LSP)
An example of an LSP is the Static Force Procedure of Sec. 208.5.2 of the NSCP. In this procedure, the effect of the ground motion on the building is converted to a Design Base Shear, V. This V is converted into a set of equivalent static lateral forces applied at the floor levels. The structure is modeled and its properties are given by its stiffness matrix, [K]. In this procedure, the [K] remains constant. 9

Types of Structural Analysis LINEAR DYNAMIC PROCEDURE (LDP)
An example of an LDP is the Dynamic Analysis Procedure of Sec. 208.6 of the NSCP. In this procedure, an elastic dynamic analysis utilizing the peak modal response based on the response spectrum for all significant modes is made. To obtain the total response, the maximum modal contribution of significant modes are combined in a prescribed manner, e.g. SRSS or CQC method.

Types of Structural Analysis NONLINEAR DYNAMIC PROCEDURE (NDP)
• nonlinear dynamic procedures consider the time history of the ground shaking
• they incorporate inelastic member behavior under cyclic earthquake ground motions
• they explicitly simulate hysteretic energy dissipation in the nonlinear range
• being more rigorous they require more time and computational effort and resources to perform
• Nonlinear Dynamic Procedure is also called Nonlinear Time History Analysis.

What is Pushover Analysis?
■ Pushover Analysis is an incremental static analysis used to determine the forcedisplacement relationship for a structure or structural element.
■ The analysis involves applying horizontal loads, in a prescribed pattern, to a computer model of the structure incrementally, and plotting the total applied shear force and associated lateral displacement at each increment, until the structure reaches a limit state or collapse condition. 14

What is Pushover Analysis?
As individual components of a structure yield or fail, the earthquake forces on the building are shifted to other components.
A pushover analysis simulates this phenomenon by applying loads until the weak link in the structure is found and then revising the model to incorporate the changes in the structure caused by the yielding or failing of the weak link.
A second iteration is then performed to study how the loads are redistributed in the structure. The structure is “pushed” again until the second weak link is discovered. 15

What is Pushover Analysis?
This process continues until the yield pattern for the whole structure under seismic loading is identified.
The plot of the total lateral force (base shear) vs. the displacement of a reference point (usually the center of mass of the roof level) is the pushover curve or capacity curve.

What is Pushover Analysis?
A pushover analysis is an approximation of the more accurate and more complicated Nonlinear Dynamic Procedure
A pushover analysis is only useful for evaluating nonlinear structures for which the fundamental mode dominates and is not suitable for certain irregular or dynamically complex structures.

How is a Pushover Curve constructed ? 2 types of pushover analysis: FORCE CONTROLLED - the force is incrementally increased DISPLACEMENT-CONTROLLED – the displacement of the reference point is incrementally increased The displacement controlled pushover analysis is generally preferred over the force controlled one because the analysis could be carried out up to the desired level of the displacement. Pushover Analysis is carried out using computer software.

2. Performance Based Design (PBD) PBD is similar to assessment and rehabilitation of buildings, except that we are dealing with new buildings instead of existing ones. In PBD, we design buildings so that they will perform according to pre-determined standards like IO, LS, and CP at corresponding levels of seismic shaking. Therefore, pushover analysis is a necessary component of PBD. 47

3. Development of Fragility and Vulnerability Curves FRAGILITY CURVE (FUNCTION) - a curve (function) that shows the relationship between structural performance and ground motion. Specifically, it gives the probability that a structure is in, or exceeding, a given damage state due to a given ground motion intensity. If given in a tabular form, it is called a Damage Probability Matrix (DPM) VULNERABILITY – the degree of loss to a given element at risk resulting from a given level of hazard (e.g. ground motion intensity). It is defined as the ratio of the expected loss to the maximum possible loss, on a scale of 0 to 1 (or 0 to 100%) 48

Summary
Pushover Analysis gives us a better idea how a structure will perform when subjected to a given level of earthquake. Design Earthquakes cause nonlinear behavior which cannot be handled by linear static procedures. Pushover analysis gives a better understanding of the building behavior well into the inelastic region. Pushover analysis Identifies weak elements with plastic hinge formation and their order of formation. It gives realistic prediction of element demands.

Uses of Pushover Analysis It is a good substitute for the more accurate Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis for buildings where the fundamental mode of vibration dominates. For buildings with more than one significant mode and buildings with irregular features, nonlinear static pushover analysis may not be accurate.
