That is a good question, I think you can run what is called a dynamic push-over analysis. This is very important when assessing a structure due to an earthquake.

Thanks Dr. Mostafa

It is very needed to innovate a new method, which can take into account the dynamic characteristics to traditional static pushover analysis; to can use it in evaluation of high-rise and irregular concrete buildings. Far from using of nonlinear time history analysis which is very complicated to practical engineers.

Dear Dr. Mohamed Beneldjouzi , I completely agree with you, please send me the tutorial for incremental dynamic analysis . thanks

Dear Ibrahim,

The term 'pushover analysis' is often used loosely in literature. There are plenty of variants even within the nonlinear static framework such as the classical pushover based on an invariant shape for the load vector, modal pushover, adaptive pushover etc. I believe what you are referring to is dynamic pushover, commonly known as Incremental Dynamic Analysis. I would recommend going through Vamvatsikos and Cornell (2002 and 2004) for further details.

Dear Dr Rohan

Please share this paper, Thanks

Kindly check your inbox.

Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) can be considered to be the dynamic equivalent of the static pushover analysis.

See this publication "Simplified procedure for seismic demands assessment of structures"

I think the question here is whether in the course of pushover analysis the dynamic property change owing to material nonlinearity, by variation in modal properties are possible. this forms the adaptive pushover analysis. to my knowledge adaptive pushover analysis is not possible in SAP2000 yet.
