EXAMPLE 6: "STUDY FOR THE VALUATION AND REDESIGN OF A BUILDING ACCORDING TO THE CANC. 80 3(a).5 PUSHOVER Analysis Results When applying the pushover analysis, the structure is gradually extruded with monotonically increasing lateral load (triangular or rectangular) until it reaches failure. Plastic joints are thus gradually formed at the ends of the component elements (beams, columns, walls) of the whole structure. As these form, the strength of the nodes at the beginning and end of the element's length is gradually reduced. In the final steps of the analysis, a collapse mechanism will be created by the forming plastic joints in the structural elements of the structure, whose plastic deformations will be such that the elements not be able to receive further stress and the structure will be driven to failure. The designer has the ability to view the results of all Pushover analyses in the form of diagrams and also display the visualization of the carrier as it responds to Pushover: -choose the three-dimensional representation of the -choose one of the commands in the "Show" group The 3D initial and deformed model of the vector is displayed on the desktop and the "Report" dialog box opens.
