I conducted a pushover analysis of 2-story URM and retrofitted Building (using splint and bandage) in x direction using DIANA fea. Mass proportional loading was given to the structure. I have attached the curve achieved. How do i interpret the curve? How do I define yielding point, Ultimate Point? Performance point? Damage Limits?
