    Non-Linear Static (Pushover) Analysis

    Uploaded by

    Non-Linear Static (Pushover) Analysis allows users to model the nonlinear behavior of structures subjected to lateral loads. It can analyze structures using multiple pushover load cases, each with a different load distribution. The analysis yields hinge formations, member forces, base shear-displacement curves, and capacity spectra that provide insights into the structure's failure mechanisms and capacity. The general workflow involves creating a model, defining loads, hinges, and pushover cases, running the analysis, and reviewing the results.

    Non-Linear Static (Pushover) Analysis

    Nonlinear static pushover analysis capabilities are provided in the nonlinear


    version of SAP2000 only. The nonlinear behavior occurs in discrete user-defined
    hinges. Currently, hinges can be introduced into frame objects only and assigned at
    any location along the frame object. Uncoupled moment, torsion, axial force and
    shear hinges are available. There is also a coupled P-M2-M3 hinge that yields
    based on the interaction of axial force and bending moments at the hinge location.
    More than one type of hinge can exist at the same location; for example, both an
    M3 (moment) and a V2 (shear) hinge may be assigned to the same end of a frame
    object. For more information about hinges, see Hinge Properties.
    A pushover analysis can consist of more than one pushover load case. Each
    pushover load case can have a different distribution of load on the structure. For
    example, a typical pushover analysis might consist of three pushover load cases.
    The first would apply gravity load to the structure, the second would apply one
    distribution of lateral load over the height of the structure, and the third would
    apply another distribution of lateral load over the height of the structure. There are
    four different methods of describing the distribution of load on the structure for a
    pushover load case:
    1. A uniform acceleration can be automatically applied. In that case, the lateral
    force automatically applied at each node is proportional to the mass tributary
    to that node.
    2. A lateral force that is proportional to the product of a specified mode shape
    times its circular frequency squared (2) times the mass tributary to a node
    can be automatically applied at each node. The user may specify the mode
    shape to be used in that instance.
    3. An arbitrary static load pattern may be defined.
    4. Any of the methods described in 1, 2 and 3 can be combined.
    Several types of output can be obtained from the nonlinear static pushover
    analysis:
    1. Base shear versus displacement at a specified control joint can be plotted.

    2. Base shear versus displacement at a specified control joint can be plotted in


    the ADRS format where the vertical axis is spectral acceleration and the
    horizontal axis is spectral displacement. The demand spectra can be
    superimposed on that plot.
    3. The sequence of hinge formation and the color-coded state of each hinge can
    be viewed graphically, on a step-by-step basis, for each step of the pushover.
    4. The member forces can be viewed graphically, on a step-by-step basis, for
    each step of the analysis.
    5. Tabulated values of base shear versus displacement at each point along the
    pushover curve, along with tabulations of the number of hinges beyond
    certain control points on their hinge property force-displacement curve can
    be viewed on the screen, printed, or saved to a file.
    6. Tabulated values of the capacity spectrum (ADRS capacity and demand
    curves), the effective period and the effective damping can be viewed on the
    screen, printed, or saved to a file.
    The following general sequence of steps is involved in a nonlinear static pushover
    analysis:
    1. Create a model.
    2. Define arbitrary static load cases, if needed, for use in the pushover analysis.
    Note that the program also has built-in capability to define the distribution
    of lateral load over the height of the structure based on both uniform
    acceleration and mode shapes.
    3. Define the pushover load cases.
    4. Define hinge properties.
    5. Assign hinge properties to frame elements.
    6. Run the pushover analysis by selecting a static nonlinear load case on
    the Set Load Cases to Run form. The load case will be available only if there
    is at least one frame object with a hinge property assigned to it, and there is
    at least one pushover load case defined. If frame objects are specified to be

    designed by the program, this design automatically will be performed before


    the pushover analysis routine begins.
    7. Review the pushover results.
    8. If necessary, revise the model and repeat steps 2 through 7.
