Pushover Analysis

Pushover is a static-nonlinear analysis method where a structure is subjected to


gravity loading and a monotonic displacement-controlled lateral load pattern which
continuously increases through elastic and inelastic behavior until an ultimate
condition is reached.
Difference between Pushover analysis and response spectrum analysis?
Pushover analysis is the common name of a type of procedures that uses simplified
nonlinear static analysis. A modal response spectrum analysis is a dynamic linear
analysis. Modal response spectrum analysis is more suitable for problems involving
the structural design of new structures, while pushover analysis is more indicated
for assessing the seismic vulnerability of existing structures. There are many
pushover analysis procedures. The most popular are the ATC40 capacity spectrum
method
(as

displacement coefficient method (FEMA273), and the N2 method (Eurocode 8)
