“…As a simplified analysis method, Pushover analysis considers elasto-plastic performance of structure components and it can be grasped simply by engineers, but further analysis about its applicability on different structural systems is needed. Miao & Ma [1,2] researched the applicability of Pushover on frame and frame-shear wall structural system. As to diagonal grid structural system, similar research is not found yet.…”

As an important seismic analysis method, Pushover is widely used in high-rise buildings, while there is still lack of investigation on applicability of Pushover analysis on diagonal grid structural system. Two structures with height 144 and 288 meters are respectively built, and then Pushover analysis and Incremental dynamic analysis are conducted. Results calculated by two different methods are compared, including top displacement vs. base shear curve, inter-story drift vs. inter-story shear curve, distribution of inter-story drift angle along the building height and plastic developing sequence of structural weak positions. Meanwhile, influence of three lateral load patterns (uniform pattern，inverted triangle pattern and SRSS pattern) on the results is investigated. Analysis results demonstrate that Pushover analysis can in some extent reflect seismic performance of structures and SRSS load pattern can better capture global and local information of structures compared with other two patterns.

“…and Shi et al (2007) constructed 3-D solid-element models to simulate progressive collapse due to impact of blast load. and Miao et al (2007) developed fibber model THUFIBER based on commercial finite element software MSC.MARC and the model gave a good simulation on the collapse mechanism of RC frames under different loads. K. Khandelwal & Tawil (2005) introduced multi-scale finite element models into the simulation of progressive collapse of an eight-story steel frames under blast loads.…”

Abstract. Structural progressive collapse is a great threat to life safety and therefore it is necessary to study its mechanism in detail. Numerical simulation is significant to study the whole process of progressive collapse in structural level. Since collapse is a complicated procedure from continuum into discrete fragments, numerical model should be competent in nonlinear deformation before collapse and breaking and crashing of fragments after collapse. Coupled Finite elementdiscrete element method on simulating structural progressive collapse is proposed to meet the requirements. Relatively accurate models, such as fiber model and multi-shell shell model, are introduced to construct the finite element model of structure. In the analysis, the failed finite elements will be removed and replaced with granular discrete elements according to the criteria of equivalent total mass and volume so that the impacting and heaping of fragments can be taken into account. The sample with the coupled method shows that this method not only possesses the advantages of finite element method but also simulates the behavior of fragments well.

“…The finite element analysis software packages for continuum systems, such as FLEX, ANSYS, ABAQUS, LARSA, and DIANA, have also been used and compared with each other [Bao et al, 2008;Smilowitz, 2002]. Furthermore, Miao et al [2007] have developed computer software called THUFIBER using a fibre model for modelling of nonlinear behaviour of structural elements that can be used for progressive collapse analysis.…”
