This document discusses pushover analysis, which is an inelastic static analysis method used to evaluate seismic performance of structures. It begins by outlining the target performance levels dictated by codes, then provides an overview of current analysis methods and their limitations. Next, it describes the steps of a pushover analysis in detail, including defining member behavior, applying loads, specifying the load pattern, and incrementally forming plastic hinges. An example application to a 3-story frame structure is presented to demonstrate the process. The document concludes by emphasizing pushover analysis as a practical alternative to time history analysis for estimating seismic response.
