COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT PUSHOVER APPROCHES FOR SEISMIC ASSESSMENT OF EXISTING BUILDINGS

during the last decade the nonlinear static pushover analysis has been used among the structural engineering society as an alternative mean of analysis the purpose of pushover analysis is to assess the structural performance by estimating the strength and deformation capacities using static nonlinear analysis and comparing these capasities with the demands at the corresponding performance levels . recently many attempts have been proposed to improve the capability of pushover analysis .
