Performance-based seismic evaluation methods for the estimation of inelastic deformation demands

Abstract

© 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved. The article presents experimental research and comparison of two performance-based seismic evaluation methods: Nonlinear static procedure (NSP)/pushover analysis (PoA) and nonlinear time history analysis. It is established that nonlinear static procedure is good enough for prediction of plastic hinges localization, but difference between methods results is more than 15 % with a lack of seismic resistance.
