Pushover Analysis in Seismic Engineering

Illustration of pushover analysis method for seismic evaluation

The image illustrates the concept of pushover analysis, a seismic analysis method used in structural engineering to evaluate the performance of buildings under seismic loads. This method involves applying a lateral load pattern to a structural model and incrementally increasing it to simulate the building's response to an earthquake. The analysis helps in understanding the nonlinear behavior and identifying potential failure mechanisms.
