When evaluating the seismic demands of tall buildings, engineers are more likely to adopt simplified non-linear static analytical procedures, or pushover analyses, instead of the more complicated non-linear response history analysis. Since the conventional procedure has some drawbacks in predicting

Abstract
This article is a stateβofβtheβart review of the simplified inelastic analytical procedure commonly referred to as the βpushover analysisβ to estimate the seismic response of buildings. The basic steps of a pushover analysis are outlined. The choices available to users in each step are discussed and past studies involving the pushover procedure are briefly reviewed. Finally, the accuracy of the method compared to inelastic dynamic analysis is presented using examples.

## Abstract An Erratum has been published for this article in Earthquake Engng. Struct. Dyn. 2004; 33:1429. Based on structural dynamics theory, the modal pushover analysis (MPA) procedure retains the conceptual simplicity of current procedures with invariant force distribution, now common in st
## Abstract An improvement is first suggested to the modal pushover analysis (MPA) procedure for bridges initially proposed by the writers (__Earthquake Engng Struct. Dyn.__ 2006; **35**(11):1269β1293), the key idea being that the deformed shape of the structure responding inelastically to the cons
