Pushover Results | EC8 N2 method

The target shift is determined in a procedure according to EN 1998-1 [1 ] B.5; it corresponds to the N2 method according to [2 ]. The table 'Pushover Results' displays the parameters of the calculation that are available for the iterations of the governing load level.

Info

The values in the table refer to the target shift, not to the load level set in the work window.

The target displacements of the equivalent system used in the N2 method (equivalent single-mass oscillator) are given in column dt *. The values in column dt indicate the target shifts related to the actual building.
