Can someone help me clearing the doubt on Pushover Analysis.
1. In this a building is pushed, but what is the limit or extent for pushing?
2. Is the target displacement( performance point) found out before pushing the building and after finding it building is pushed to that limit? But to find out target displacement (by displacement coefficient method) we need pushover curve ? SO which is done before.
3. What is the significance of target displacement?
4. Some reference to do pushover in SAP, Etabs or opensees.
