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…
