Abstract: The static pushover analysis is becoming a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of
existing and new structures. The existing building can become seismically deficient since seismic design code
requirements are constantly upgraded and advancement in engineering knowledge. Further, Indian buildings
built over past two decades are seismically deficient because of lack of awareness regarding seismic behavior of
structures. The widespread damage especially to RC buildings during earthquakes around the world generated a
great demand for developing a simple yet efficiently accurate new method known as pushover analysis for
seismic evaluation. The expectation is that the non-linear static analysis popularly known as pushover
analysis will provide adequate information on seismic demands imposed by the design ground motion on the
structural system and its components and consumes very less time compared to non-linear dynamic analysis.
In a real structure the strength of concrete and steel may not be the same as assumed in the analysis, it may be
more or less, Since the output of the analysis is very much sensitive to design parameters, in the present thesis,
attempt is made to understand the sensitivity of design parameters like strength of concrete, strength of steel and
cover to reinforcement on performance of structures namely bare frame structure and frame with rigid slab and
compare the variation in performance within these two.
Keywords: Non-linear static Pushover analysis, sensitivity of strength of concrete and steel, seismic evaluation

From Fig. 12 to 13 we can say that frame with Shell
slab model for effective moment of inertia (I eff) and
hinge length 0.12L also gross moment of inertia
(Igross) and hinge length 0.15L gives nearer results
