pushover analysis

pushover analysis

(OP)
Hi Dear sash
I mean, when we calculate performance point of 2 structure, for example structure A is ( 18 cm, 204 ton) and structure B is (22 cm, 320 ton), what does it mean?

    * does it mean structure B is more resistance because it can tolerate more lateral load?
    * If the above answer is YES, I am bit confuse, because when V is greater in structure B,in pushover curve it is near the plastic zone.
    * and what bout distance at performance point, can we say because structure B can tolerate more distance so it is better?
    * what will be above question if in structure B we have (22 cm, 180 ton)? because in this case we can not just judge base on distance or V.

regards
John

RE: pushover analysis

John,

Welcome to the forum. Hopefully one of our seismic gurus such as Taro or Qshake will help you with this one.

Meanwhile if you try a search on this topic at the top of the page, this may have been asked before.
