Abstract

On the basis of the modal pushover analysis ( MPA) method, a method of improved modal pushover analysis ( IMPA) is proposed. This method overcomes the shortcomings of the fixed loading patterns of the MPA ( Modal Pushover Analysis) method, and its loading mechanisms before and after a structure yields are different. Then, by two examples, the IMPA method is compared with the MPA method in terms of roof displacement, interstory drift angle and elasto-plastic time-history. The results show that the IMPA method is much more accurate than the MPA method when the two methods are used to estimate the structural seismic response.
