Learn Cyclic Pushover Analysis

Learn Cyclic Pushover Analysis

This is a crash course about performing a calibration of nonlinear RC analytical column model with experimental results by full cyclic pushover analysis. Two nonlinear structural analysis softwares have been used, which are CSI Perform 3D and eSEES which is a graphical user interface (GUI) for the OpenSees frame work developed by Dr. Silvia Mazzoni.

The course is structured to the following sections:

1. Introduction to the PEER structural database. (PEER is the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center)

2. The Perform 3D model and its results.

3. The eSEES model and its results.
