Seismic Design Aids for Nonlinear Pushover Analysis of Reinforced Concrete and Steel Bridges
Series: Advances in Earthquake Engineering
Nonlinear static monotonic (pushover) analysis has become a common practice in performance-based bridge seismic design. The popularity of pushover analysis is due to its ability to identify the failure modes and the design limit states of bridge piers and to provide the progressive collapse...
