the pushover.<br />

10. Continue clicking the Right Arrow button<br />

until the first colored hinges appear. The first<br />

colored hinges should appear in Step 4, as<br />

illustrated in Figure D-5. The color of the hinges<br />

indicates the state of the hinge, i.e, where it is<br />

along its force displacement curve. The legend for<br />

the hinge colors is included at the bottom of the<br />

screen. The points B, IO, LS, CP, C, D and E are<br />

illustrated in the figure. When hinges first appear,<br />

they are at point B on the force-displacement<br />

curve.<br />
