IMPAβ: Incremental Modal Pushover Analysis for Bridges [PDF]
In the present study, the incremental modal pushover analysis (IMPA), a pushover-based approach already proposed and applied to buildings by the same authors, was revised and proposed for bridges (IMPAβ). Pushover analysis considers the effects of higher

Modified Modal Pushover Design for Asymmetric-Plan RC Shear-Wall Structures
The goal of this research is to provide a new method for designing reinforced concrete wall structures with a one-way asymmetric plan. This presented method is called the modified modal pushover design method (MMPD), which uses assumptions of modified ...

A case study on an innovative seismic performance evaluation procedure for irregular RC buildings
Assessing the structural capacity of an irregular structure requires an appropriate and robust representation of the analytical model. Conventional procedures are flawed because they lack the reversal effects of higher modes.

A New Method for Drawing the Capacity Spectrum for Seismic Analysis and Structural Rehabilitation [PDF]
A review of previous studies shows that there are two general views on how to determine demand in structures through incremental nonlinear static analysis. In the first view, multi-modal methods are used to determine demand in structures.

A Pushover Procedure Based on the Modal Story Shear and Torsional Moment for Asymmetric-Plan Buildings under Simultaneous Bi-Directional Seismic Excitation [PDF]
In this paper, a modal pushover method is introduced for the assessment of the asymmetric-plan buildings in which, a load pattern is derived based on the story shears and story torque of building due to the simultaneous excitation in x and y directions ...

Incremental Modal Pushover Analysis (IMPA) for bridges
In recent years, many research activities were undertaken to develop a reliable and practical analysis procedure to identify the safety level of existing structure. There are many literatures available on the seismic evaluation procedures of buildings using nonlinear static analysis (pushover) instead of performing, as in the well known incremental ...

Predicting Maximum and Cumulative Response of A Base-isolated Building Using Pushover Analysis
The evaluation of the maximum and cumulative response is an important issue for the seismic design of new base-isolated buildings. This study predicts the maximum and cumulative response of a 14-story reinforced concrete base-isolated building using a ...
