Structure design engineers play a crucial role in shaping the built environment we live in. They are responsible for designing and analyzing structures such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, and other infrastructure projects to ensure that they are safe, durable, and efficient. In this blog post, we will explore the work and responsibilities of a structure design engineer in more detail. Project Review and Planning One of the first tasks of a structure design engineer is to review project requirements and constraints. This may involve meeting with clients, architects, and other…

What is Pushover Analysis in Structure Design ?
Pushover analysis is a method of analyzing the seismic performance of a building or structure by subjecting it to progressively increasing lateral loads until it reaches its ultimate capacity. The analysis is typically performed using non-linear static analysis techniques, which take into account the non-linear behavior of the structure as it approaches failure. In pushover analysis, the structure is modeled as a series of beam-column elements, and a lateral load pattern is applied to the structure at each level. The load pattern is typically based on a simplified seismic force…
