Pushover Analysis
Why Pushover Analysis?
a) To verify or revise the over strength ratio values (alpha_u/alpha_1)
b) To estimate the expected plastic mechanisms and the distribution of damage
c) To assess the structural performance of existing or retrofitted buildings
d) As an alternative to the design based on linear-elastic analysis which uses the
behavior factor, q

Objectives of Seismic Isolation Systems
Enhance performance of structures at all hazard levels by:
Minimizing interruption of use of facility
Reducing damaging deformations in structural and
nonstructural components
Reducing acceleration response to minimize contents related
damage
Characteristics of Well-Designed Seismic Isolation Systems
Flexibility to increase period of vibration and thus reduce
force response
Energy dissipation to control the isolation system
displacement
Rigidity under low load levels such as wind and minor
earthquakes

Damping
Modal
User defines the damping ratio for each mode, and the modal
response will be calculated based on the user defined damping
ratios.
Mass & Stiffness Proportional
Damping coefficients are computed for mass proportional
damping and stiffness proportional damping.
Strain Energy Proportional
Damping ratios for each mode are automatically calculated using
the damping ratios specified for element groups and boundary
groups in Group Damping, which are used to formulate the
damping matrix.

Modal Analysis
Eigen Vectors

Subspace Iteration
This method is effectively used when performing eigenvalue analysis for a finite element system of a large scale
(large matrix system) and commonly used among engineers.

Lanczos
Tri-diagonal Matrix is used to perform eigenvalue analysis. This method is effectively used when performing
eigenvalue analysis for lower modes.

Ritz Vectors
Unlike the natural eigenvalue modes, load dependent Ritz vectors produce more reliable results in dynamic analyses
with relatively fewer modes. The Ritz Vectors are generated reflecting the spatial distribution or the characteristics of the
dynamic loading.
