The objective of this review to be submitted in two independent parts, for steel frames and for RC frames, is to compare their structural performance with respect to the proposed N2-method, and so also of the consequent convenience of using pushover methodology for the seismic analysis of these structures. A preliminary investigation is presented on a pushover analysis used for the seismic perf...

Rooted in structural dynamics theory, three approximate procedures for estimating seismic demands for bridges crossing fault-rupture zones and deforming into their inelastic range are presented: modal pushover analysis �MPA�, linear dynamic analysis, and linear static analysis. These procedures estimate the total seismic demand by superposing peak values of quasi-static and dynamic parts. The p...

Construction of building omitting an infill wall mostly in ground floor and other floors has led a to face soft story failure mechanism. This omission is for commercial purposes parking vehicles floor. In this study, study on the behavior structure done when happens different levels. A explained as per NBC 201 205 taken into consideration. Soft assigned all responses separately. An equivalent d...

In this article, the applicability of mode-adaptive bidirectional pushover analysis (MABPA) to base-isolated irregular buildings was evaluated. The point updated MABPA is that peaks first and second modal responses are predicted considering energy balance during a half cycle structural response. numerical examples, main building former Uto City Hall, which severely damaged in 2016 Kumamoto eart...

This paper presents a simple method to calculate pushover curves for asymmetric structure with displacement-dependent passive energy dissipation devices (DDPEDDs). The method analyzes the deformation of a symmetric structure in translation and in torsion. These results are then combined in order to calculate the pushover curve for an asymmetric structure with DDPEDDs. The numerical results obta...
