Load Pattern in pushover analysis

~~paladin~~ · 09-26-2010, 06:23 AM

Dear members of Civilea
I need help
I use etabs/sap2000 for pushover analysis.
The questions :
1) What is the formula to distribute static force to form "the load pattern of higher-mode-profile" ?
2) Is there correlation between the load pattern we choose & the pushover method we use ?
3) For CSM, CM & MPA respectively, what load pattern that I should use ?
Thanks
Paladin
