joint to see its displacement. You can click the Left Arrow button to return to Step 0 of<br />
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 />
