The popularity of pushover analysis is due to its ability to identify the failure modes and the design limit states of bridge piers and to provide the progressive collapse sequence of damaged bridges when subjected to major earthquakes. \u003cstrong\u003eSeismic Design Aids for Nonlinear Pushover Analysis of Reinforced Concrete and Steel Bridges \u003c\/strong\u003efills the need for a complete reference on pushover analysis for practicing engineers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis technical reference covers the pushover analysis of reinforced concrete and steel bridges with confined and unconfined concrete column members of either circular or rectangular cross sections as well as steel members of standard shapes. It provides step-by-step procedures for pushover analysis with various nonlinear member stiffness formulations, including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eFinite segment-finite string (FSFS)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFinite segment-moment curvature (FSMC) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAxial load-moment interaction (PM) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConstant moment ratio (CMR) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlastic hinge length (PHL) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eRanging from the simplest to the most sophisticated, the methods are suitable for engineers with varying levels of experience in nonlinear structural analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors also provide a downloadable computer program, INSTRUCT (INelastic STRUCTural Analysis of Reinforced-Concrete and Steel Structures), that allows readers to perform their own pushover analyses. Numerous real-world examples demonstrate the accuracy of analytical prediction by comparing numerical results with full- or large-scale test results. A useful reference for researchers and engineers working in structural engineering, this book also offers an organized collection of nonlinear pushover analysis applications for students. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Ger,Franklin Y.
