Pushover analysis in SAP2000
Pushover analysis in SAP2000
(OP)
I am trying to do a pushover analysis in SAP for an octagonal prestressed concrete pile. I've already modeled the pile as a winkler beam with the soil springs modeling the soil behavior. I am just unsure how to go about doing the pushover analysis at this point. Do I need to incorporate the axial force as well as a lateral force? Also, most tutorials I have found online say that I need to assign hinges to each element, do I actually have to do that?
I don't know the exact lateral forces but I do know the plastic moment, limiting values for the strain in the concrete and steel, as well as the limiting value for the plastic rotation, all from the moment-curvature analysis.
I'm trying to find where the in-ground plastic hinge occurs.

for the point of assigning hinges I don't know any other way the SAP can take the effect of plastic hinges except by assigning frame hinge.
