Zig-Zag in pushover curve
Posted: 26 Aug 2023, 14:16
Dear all
I am doing pushover analysis for a low-rise RC frame building using inelastic plastic-hinge force-based frame element (infrmFBPH) considering displacement control.
Can anyone tell what the possible reasons are for having a zig-zag in some parts of the pushover curve (see attached figure), and is this acceptable?
Thanks in advance.
