In this paper is describes a non-linear static (pushover) analysis method for reinforced concrete structures that predicts real nonlinear (both material and geometrical) behavior including all stages of loading, starting from the initial application of loads up to and beyond the collapse of building. In other words from appearance of first plastic hinge until last hinge which represent collapse of building. Some important aspects which are implemented in EC8, FEMA-273/356 and ATC-40 documents regarding to pushover analysis and performance evaluation of buildings are discussed. Modeling of structural elements is made by linear elements approach. Nonlinear behavior of structural elements is …
