The static pushover analysis is becoming a popular tool for seismic Purpose of Push-over
performance evaluation of existing and new structures. The expectation is Analysis
that the pushover analysis will provide adequate information on seismic
demands imposed by the design ground motion on the structural system Target Displacement
and its components. The purpose of the paper is to summarize the basic
concepts on which the pushover analysis can be based, assess the Non-Linear Static
accuracy of pushover predictions, identify conditions under which the Analysis for Buildings
pushover will provide adequate information and, perhaps more
importantly, identify cases in which the pushover predictions will be

The existing building can become seismically deficient since seismic design
code requirements are constantly upgraded and advancement in Conclusion &
engineering knowledge. Further, Indian buildings built over past two References
decades are seismically deficient because of lack of awareness regarding
seismic behaviour of structures. The widespread damage especially to RC
buildings during earthquakes exposed the construction practices being
adopted around the world, and generated a great demand for seismic
evaluation and retrofitting of existing building stocks.
