In this paper, a new energy-based pushover procedure is presented in order
to achieve an approximate estimation of structural performance under strong
earthquakes. The steps of the proposed methodology are quite similar to those
of the well-known displacement modification method. However, the determination
of the characteristics of the equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (E-SDOF)
system is based on a different rational concept. Its main idea is to determine the
E-SDOF system by equating the external work of the lateral loads acting on the
multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) system under consideration to the strain
energy of the E-SDOF system. After a brief outline of the theoretical background,
a representative numerical example is given. Finally, the accuracy of
the proposed method is evaluated by an extensive parametric study which shows
that, in general, it provides better results compared to those produced by other
similar procedures
