The “Pushover” method is a new, simple, and practical approach used to create the capacity curve, which is compared to the seismic demand curve to assess the structure’s performance point. This forms the basis of the seismic design approach known as “performance-based design”.

The main objective of this study is to apply nonlinear static analysis of Pushover to an existing building in Al Hoceima to evaluate its seismic performance. It also allows for monitoring the development of plastic hinges in structural elements.

We used the nonlinear analysis software SAP2000 to obtain the fragility curve and the Pushover curve.
