• Equivalent Lateral Force Procedure

- Detail accordingly
• Modal Superposition Procedure
- Include higher mode effects
• Time History Analysis
- Rarely used
Critique of Current Practice
Advantages :
- Simple to use
- Have proven to work
- Became a tradition all over the world
- Uncertainty is lumped and easier to deal with
Disadvantages :
- No clear connection between capacity and demand
- No option for interfering with the target performance
- No possibility of having the owner involved in the decision
process
- Not easily applicable to seismic assessment of existing
structures
DBYBHY 2007 (Chapter 7)
-
Evaluation and Strengthening of Existing Buildings
is based on structural performances.
- Steps:
• Collect information from an existing structure
• Assess whether info is dependable and penalize accordingly
• Conduct structural analysis
- Linear static analysis
- Nonlinear static analysis (
Pushover analysis
)
- Incremental pushover analysis
- Time history analysis
• Identify for each member the damage level
Time History?
- Actual earthquake response is hard to predict anyways.
- Closest estimate can be found using inelastic time-history analysis.
- Difficulties with inelastic time history analysis:
- Suitable set of ground motion (Description of demand)
- hysteretic behavior models (Description of capacity)
- Computation time (Time)
- Post processing (Time and understanding)
Alternative approach is pushover analysis.

Pushover Analysis
• Definition: Inelastic static analysis of a
structure using a specified (constant or
variable) force pattern from zero load to a
prescribed ultimate displacement.
• Use of it dates back to 1960s to1970s to
investigate stability of steel frames.
• Many computer programs were developed
Available Computer Programs
• Design Oriented:
SAP 2000, GTSTRUDL, RAM etc.
• Research Oriented:
Opensees, IDARC, SeismoStrut etc.
What is different?
• User interface capabilities
• Analysis options
Section Damage Levels
Damage levels are established based on concrete outermost
compressive fiber strain and steel strain (for nonlinear analysis
procedure).

How should these values be decided?

Steps of Pushover Analysis:
A Simple Incremental Procedure
1. Build a computational model of the structure
Steps of Pushover Analysis
2. Define member behavior
–
Beams: Moment-rotation relations
–
Columns: Moment-rotation and Interaction Diagrams
–
Beam-column joints: Assume rigid (DBYBHY 2007 )
–
Walls: Model as beam columns but introduce a shear
spring to model shear deformations
Steps of Pushover Analysis
3. Apply gravity loads
1.0 G + n Q
n=0.3 (live load reduction factor)
(if the interaction diagrams will not be used a good
estimate of the moment capacity of column hinges
needs to be made)
Possibilities:
-
Based on initial gravity load analysis
-
Based on a beam hinging mechanism
-
Based on elastic lateral force analysis with an
assumed reasonable R
a
value.
Steps of Pushover Analysis
4. Specify a Lateral Load Profile:
(Inverted triangular, constant, first mode shape are some of the
possibilities)
It is a good idea to have a spreadsheet page ready
indicating all members, current load increment
5. Lateral Load Incrementing:
Step 1:
Elastic analysis is valid up to the formation of the first hinge,
i.e. when the first critical location reaches its moment
capacity.
• Find the lateral loads that cause first hinge formation (V
1
).
Steps of Pushover Analysis
Step 2:
Beyond Step 1, yielded
element’s critical location cannot
take any further moment. Therefore place an actual
hinge at that location. Conduct an analysis increment for
this modified structure.
This load increment should be
selected such that upon summing the force resultant
from this incremental step and previous step, second
hinge formation is reached.

with more hinges. Results are added to those from the

Step n:
Sufficient number of plastic hinges have formed and
system has reached a plastic mechanism. Note that this
could be a partial collapse mechanism as well. Beyond
this point system rotates as a rigid body.
