This tutorial, together with the <strong>SAP2000</strong> online help provides extensive documentation of all of<br />

the pushover analysis features available in <strong>SAP2000</strong>. It is intended that you can use this tutorial<br />

as a continuing reference for <strong>SAP2000</strong> pushover analyses.<br />

As previously noted, you can obtain context-sensitive online help from within any pushover<br />

dialog box by pressing the F1 key while that dialog box is open. The names of each of the basic<br />

pushover analysis topics covered in the online help are listed below.<br />

• Nonlinear Static Pushover Analysis<br />

• Define Frame Hinge Properties<br />

• Frame Hinge Property Data<br />

• Frame Hinge Property Data For XXX<br />

• Frame Hinge Interaction Surface<br />

• Interaction Surface Definition<br />

• Define Static Pushover Cases<br />

• Static Pushover Case Data<br />

• Assign Frame Hinges (Pushover)<br />

• Pushover Curve<br />

• Override Axis Labels And Range<br />

• Override Structural Behavior Type<br />

The Nonlinear Static Pushover Analysis topic gives an overview of the <strong>SAP2000</strong> pushover<br />

analysis capabilities. The other topics provide context-sensitive help for dialog boxes of the<br />

same name.<br />

Finally, it is emphasized that the <strong>SAP2000</strong> documentation for the pushover is not intended to,<br />

and does not, document the pushover analysis method, but rather is intended to document the<br />

pushover analysis capabilities of <strong>SAP2000</strong>. For information regarding the pushover analysis<br />

method you should refer to the ATC-40 and FEMA-273 documents which are referenced below.<br />

ATC, 1996<br />

Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Concrete Buildings, Volume 1, ATC-40 Report, Applied<br />

Technology Council, Redwood City, California.<br />

FEMA, 1997<br />

NEHRP Guidelines for the Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings, Developed by the Building<br />
