Using SAP2000 Software Package in Earthquake Engineering (Part II: Pushover)

Same frame but different loading

QD = 4.5 kips/ft

QD = 10.5 kips/ft

QD = 10.5 kips/ft

Loads on structures:- Static (e.g. self-weight)- Dynamic (e.g. earthquake)

Structures’ response:Linear (constant stiffness)- Linear (constant stiffness)

- Nonlinear (variable stiffness)

→Structural Analysis Approaches:- Linear static (ELF)(least accurate; least complex)( p )

- Linear dynamic (response spectra)- Nonlinear static (pushover)- Nonlinear dynamic (time history)(most accurate; most complex)

Pushover analysis:Applying a force distributionforce distribution to the structure in an incremental fashion while monitoring the occurrence of nonlinear behaviornonlinear behavior and plotting the base shear (Vb) versus control nodecontrol node displacement (uN).

compromise the simplicity of linear static approaches and accuracy of nonlinear dynamic methods.

1- Nonlinearity sources: - Geometrical (P-Delta effects)

(consider or not: codes)- Material(too many material’s behavior models)(too many material’s behavior models)

2- Nonlinearity modeling: - Concentrated - Distributed

Plastic hinge properties: - running section analysis and coming up with M-φ curves

Plastic hinge properties: - using codes’ tabulated properties

3- Lateral load pattern: - a single concentrated force at the top(good for one-story buildings)

- in proportion to the standard code procedure:

in proportion to the product of story masses and

/x x x x xF w h w h V

- in proportion to the product of story masses and predominant mode shape of the elastic model of the structure

/x x x x xF w w V

4- Control node: - For common buildings, the control node could be selected as roof (top) story node

h l i i d h h h- Pushover analysis is stopped when the structure reaches:pre-defined displacementorultimate capacity

5- Gravity loads should be applied prior to the application of lateral loads

6- Check at performance point : The global response of the structure and individual component deformations are compared to limits in li ht f th ifi f l f th tlight of the specific performance goals of the system

Using SAP2000 for Pushover Analysis
