Dear coolestbliss [ Post: #106 ],
You said you don't know anything about pushover analysis, to start learning pushover you must be patient & not too hurry.
To help you starting learning pushover you can read the basic knowledge at ATC 40 & FEMA 273/356 & there also others FEMA publication related to pushover but for basic FEMA 273/356 are good.
To help you learn pushover faster, I suggest you to find examples & read journal.
I think after it, minimally you know the general procedure & can start discussion.
If you don't know anything it's hard to explain it to you.
You can read my discussion in several of my threads about pushover.
Thanks

Btw, you said will create "a small guide for etabs users containing simple steps and tips and tricks for RC analysis"
I guess you are senior enginer ?
Boss in some company usually give duty to senior engineer to create "step by step tutorial" for junior engineer, right ?
