Objective and Scope

Extend your knowledge of seismic analysis to advanced tools, such as response history and nonlinear static (pushover) analyses which are needed

  1. To verify the success of code-based design of structures that rely on linear elastic response, idealized design spectrum, R-factors and capacity design approach, and
  2. To check on performance objectives and seismic behavior of new as well as existing buildings and bridges upto collapse.
