Convex Model for a New Lateral Load Pattern of Pushover Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

The uncertainties of earthquake currently were not considered with the various lateral load patterns of pushover. The convex set theory, which requires much less information, is employed to model the uncertainties of the seismic influence coefficient maximum and the characteristic period of response spectrum. Then the convex analysis method is integrated into the fundamental equation of pushover, and the analytic relationship of lateral seismic load and top displacement of buildings is derived. The results of numerical example shows that the new lateral load pattern of pushover proposed in this research may effective simulate the uncertainties of strong ground motion.
