This document discusses static pushover analysis for seismic design performance assessment. It describes how to construct a pushover curve by defining a structural model and loads, and performing an analysis while controlling displacements. Two main methods are presented for using the pushover curve: the Capacity Spectrum Method (ATC-40) which constructs a capacity spectrum and determines a performance point, and the Displacement Coefficient Method (FEMA 273) which estimates a target displacement. The document also provides examples of modeling elements and their force-deformation properties for the pushover analysis.
