Seismic shaking of structures -COMPLEX!!!!
Different structures behave differently during different
earthquakes. Material of structure, height of structure, seismic
weight, overburden soil, characteristics of earthquake force have
varied influence on shaking.

Why Pushover Analysis?
More accurate prediction of
Global displacement
Demand on individual members
Weakest link (“bad actors”)
Building do not respond as linearly elastic
during strong ground motion
How much information is needed?
Forces & displacement
Linear static
Modal properties & dynamic effects
(Elevation and plan irregularity)
Linear Dynamic
Post yield behavior & performance of
structure
Nonlinear Static (Pushover)
It is impossible to stop or predict
earthquake. As engineers, let us all
unite and move forward & work for
reducing calamities due to natural
and man made hazards
