NON-LINEAR PUSHOVER ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
The static nonlinear pushover analysis is a simplified approach that allows an engineer to understand
the performance of building structure for various design earthquakes.
The following restrictions are applied in current version:
+ Allnon-linear properties, which define the eventual structural failure during design earthquake, are
concentrated in so-called nonlinear pushover hinges. Other nonlinear effects (longitudinal forces,
P-Delta effect, traction-compression bars, etc.) is possible to be consider together with non-linear
hinges, but its do not play the decisive role in the damage behavior of building structures.
The nonlinear hinges are possible to be taken into account only for frame elements of structures
and for non-linear restrictions. The wall elements, modeled by shell finite elements (FE) and solid
‘ones, are not covered by the option.
© Non-linear hinges are considered as an independent non-linear links for each degree of freedom
in given node. It is neglected the interaction between different degrees of freedom. For example,
bending of bar in one plane does not depend on bending in another plane and longitudinal forces.
Such limitation will be removed in the next version.
* Location of each non-linear hinge is defined by the user.
Pushover analysis consists of following stages:
‘© Introduction of non-linear hinges in computational FE model.
Assignment of non-linear properties for hinges (force-displacement or moment-rotation diagrams)
Run modal analysis to activate of mass matrix (1 mode is enough).
Definition of lateral forces specimen. Note: Push lateral forces depend on type of mass matrix.
Assignment of control node and direction and ultimate push displacement value (when
displacement in control node and direction exceeds such threshold, nonlinear analysis is finished).
Assignment of parameters for non-linear analysis.
Run step-by-step non-linear analysis. Equilibrium state curve “shear forces versus controlling
displacement” V = V(D) is a result of non-linear analysis. Shear forces is defined as a sum of
reactions for given push direction caused by corresponding lateral force specimen.
= Conversion equilibrium states curve V = V(D) to ADRS format (acceleration displacement
response spectra) ~ derivation of capacity curve S:” = S:""(S,), where 52” is a spectral
acceleration and Sis a spectral displacement.
Capacity curve smoothing. Smoothed capacity curve is used for analysis of performance point.
Taking into account the reduction of vibration period due to hysteretic damping caused by strong
non-linear deformations of structure. Conversion of capacity curve to the axis “effective damping
versus period” Boy = By, (T)
+ Step-by-step search of the performance point as an intersection point between capacity curve
Se? = §2"(S,) and selected demand curve.
LATERAL LOAD DEFINITION
It offen happens for 3-D structures that first vibration mode produces a local vibration of a small part of
structure (local vibrations of single or few bars, local mode of plate, etc.). Such a vibration mode
usually is not representative for analysis of seismic response because makes small contribution into
seismic motion (has a small modal mass percentage). Therefore following algorithm is applied to
prepare a push mode - shape vector, which predefines a displacement vector during pushover

Usually characteristics of non-linear hinges are complex (see [1,2]) and contain a degradation
‘branches. Itoften leads to like-tooth shape of equilibrium states curves. Arc-length algorithm is applied
to‘overcome such difficulties.

In general, V = V(D) usually is a non-linear function. The Ss = S:""(S,) equation is also a non-
linear function (see Fig.10.5.2). Each point on such curve is associated with period T. Evolution of
non-linear deformations leads to change of free vibration period. It is known that T=const on ADRS
diagram is a straight line, which pass through origin of coordinates. Therefore, for all points of linear
