Permanent Campus of DIU / Re: Difference between pushover and seismic analysis

As per i know from my undergrad thesis, the main basic difference between the pushover analysis and Time history analysis is that, in pushover analysis, the earthquake magnitude(accelerogram) is generated by the ETABS software. We have no control on it to create this artificial lateral load. We can not modify any factor for observing variable phenomena. On the other hand in time history analysis, a real life earthquake is chosen. It can be applied in any point with some factorization for real time observation. That's it.

In case of  pushover,  SAP can be  the best option and but ETABS (latest version) is chosen for time history analysis. Because our latest BNBC code can be followed in the latest version making factor(c,k) changed.
