This page describes possible approaches for performing cyclic [pushover analysis|kb:Pushover].\\ *Cyclic pushover analysis* may be performed using either of two approaches, outlined as follows: \\ {on-this-page} h1. Sequence of nonlinear -static load cases CyclicFirst, cyclic [pushover|kb:Pushover] analysis canmay be carriedperformed out bythrough performing a sequence of chained pushover analyses. Two key aspects of this approach are provided belowinclude: * Each pushover analysis would be pushing the structure in the opposite direction when comparedopposite to thethat pushof direction for the immediately preceding pushover [load case|kb:Load case]. * Each pushover load case, exceptaside forfrom the first one, would beuse using stiffness at the end of the previous pushover load case. h1. Time -history load casecases AnotherAn alternate approach is to use a single nonlinear [time -history|kb:Time-history analysis] load case. However,Some special considerations are necessary when using a time -history load case requiresto somemodel specialapplied considerationsloading, tolisted modelas thatfollows: the applied* loadsLoad should be scaled up (or down) to achieve the desired monitored pushover displacement desired for each cycle. * The [time function|kb:Time function] wouldshould consist of linear segments that wouldwhich apply the loads in one direction and then reverse them in the otherreverse, directionpossibly (with perhaps a constant segment to "hold" the loads before reversingtheir them)reverse.
