info: This paper investigates the application of modal pushover analysis (MPA) as a tool to estimate seismic demands of structures with irregular mass distribution. A set of 20 ground motions is selected and median peak values of interstory drift ratios, story shears and overturning moments obtained with MPA are compared with results of nonlinear time history analysis (NL-THA). It is concluded that modal pushover analysis can be used to estimate seismic demands for practical applications in evaluation and design of frames with mass irregularity.
