Loads on structures:
- Static (e.g. self-weight)
- Dynamic (e.g. earthquake)
Structures response:
- Linear (constant stiffness)
- Nonlinear (variable stiffness)
Structural Analysis Approaches:
- Linear static (ELF)
((least accurate; least complex)
p )
- Linear dynamic (response spectra)
- Nonlinear static (pushover)
- Nonlinear dynamic (time history)
(most accurate; most complex)

Pushover analysis:
Applying a force distribution to the structure in an
incremental fashion while monitoring the
occurrence of nonlinear behavior and plotting the
base shear (Vb) versus control node displacement
(uN).
1- Nonlinearity sources:
- Geometrical (P-Delta effects)
(consider or not: codes)
- Material
(too many materials behavior models)
2- Nonlinearity modeling:
- Concentrated
- Distributed

- For common buildings, the control node could be
selected as roof (top) story node
