In recent years some adaptive pushover methods have been proposed to include the effects
of the higher modes and the changes in the vibration characteristics during the inelastic …

Dynamic analysis is the best and most accurate type of analysis for accurate evaluation of
structures. However, being time consuming and the need for experience in reviewing the …

Traditional pushover analysis is performed subjecting the structure to monotonically
increasing lateral forces with invariant distribution until a target displacement is reached; …

The earthquake loads imposed to the structures are generally much more than what they are
designed for. This reduction of design loads by seismic codes is through the application of …

This paper describes a displacement-based method of analysis for the performance-based
seismic design of regular buildings with reinforced-concrete bearing walls acting as the …

This paper presents state-of-the-art review of force reduction factor evaluation for the main
traditional steel lateral load resisting systems: moment resisting frames, concentrically …

ABSTRACT A key component of performance-based seismic evaluation is the estimation of
seismic demands. In FEMA-356 (FEMA, 2000b), which is now recognized as the model for …

Due to the unvarying nature of the applied displacement loading vector, conventional
(nonadaptive) displacement-based pushover analysis can conceal important structural …

Coupled wall (CW) structures are outstanding lateral load resisting systems that not only
reduce the deformation demands on the building, but also distribute inelastic deformation …

In modern Pushover analyzes, as well as irregular structural forms, consideration of the
effect of higher modes is critical. For this purpose and in the same direction as the …
