3rd mode pushover curve
3rd mode pushover curve
I obtained a weird pushover curve for a 3rd mode distribution for a 3-floors steel frame. At first the displacement of the third floor goes in the right direction but suddenly, because of a soft mechanism of the first floor the displacement of the third floor start to go in the left direction. It could be normal, but how should I interpret all that?

Re: 3rd mode pushover curve
vinniec,
As with your other recent post, this question is more of a general earthquake engineering nature, rather than related to SeismoStruct modelling.
We thus can only suggest you to consult the scientific literature on the subject (see the many publications referred to in the Help System/User Manual) and/or carry out some research of your own.
