Pushover Results | EC8 N2 Method

The target displacement is determined in a method according to EN 1998‑1 [1] B.5; it corresponds to the N2 method according to [2]. The "Pushover Results" table shows the calculation parameters available for the iterations of the governing load increment.

Info

The values in the table refer to the target displacement, not to the load increment set in the work window.

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