Pushover Analysis

Section 1 Create a pushover analysis directory and a collapse input file

Step 1 Create the directory for pushover analysis
Under Training Project, create Pushover subdirectory; copy the model file sacinp.dat,
seastate input file seainp.dat, and psi input file psiinp.dat to the directory, and make this directory
current.
Step 2 Modify the model input file and seastate input file for collapse analysis
Modify the model file: the only modification for the model file is to delete HYDRO and
HYDRO2
lines.
Modify the seastate input file:

load conditions; Add a new combined load condition GRAV to include structural dead load and
applied equipment loads, miscellaneous loads and live loads; Modify LCSEL line to include
load conditions GRAV, S000, S045, and S090; Input CMB into column 65-67 in LDOPT line.

Seastate input file defined shall look like the following:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Step 3 Create the collapse input file CLPINP.000

Pushover analysis should be performed for each wave direction since the structural behaviors
could be different when environmental loads are applied on the structure from different
directions.
In one collapse pushover analysis clients can define more than one load sequence in one collapse
analysis input file to include environmental loads from different directions. However only the
results from the last load sequence defined in the input file is saved in clprst file for collapse
view program. In this demo pushover analysis it only includes extreme storm loads from one
direction, 0 degree.
The unit of the collapse input file:
There is no place to define the unit for the collapse input file. The program will use the same unit
as whatever defined in the structural model file.
Collapse options:
Member segments
local buckling
8 is chosen
check with
alongAPI
with
Bulletin
80 iterations
LRFDallowed
method for
is included;
both load increment and
member iterations; Member local buckling check with API Bulletin LRFD method is included;
Joint flexibility with JF option and joint strength check with API LRFD option is included;
Pile plasticity is selected in the analysis; The maximum deflection = 500 cm is used as the
collapse criterion. Strain hardening ratio of .005 is selected. Collapse analysis report
selections: Joint deflections will be printed out in the listing file for each load increment by
selecting P1 Joint strengths will be printed out for each load increment by selecting J1;
Member stresses will be printed out for each load increment by selecting M1; Collapse and
member summary report will be included in the output listing file by selecting SM and MS.
Define load sequence: One Load sequence AAAA is defined to apply vertical loads first, and
then apply ship impact loads by increments; Combined load case GRAV will be applied on the
structure in 1 load increment; Load case S000 will be applied on the structure 1) in 2 load steps
from load factors of 0 to 1.00; 2) in 50 steps for load factors from 1.02 to 2.02.
In this demo pushover analysis the jacket structure and piles behaviors are to be investigated for
environmental loads exceed the design extreme storm loads, deck members are to be defined as
Elastic members during the analysis. Elastic member groups can be defined using GRPELA line
for member groups W01, W02, DL6, DL7, DUM, and W.B.
Collapse input files defined shall look like following:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Section 2 Create the collapse analysis run file

Step 1 Select analysis type and sub-type
Click Analysis Generator from Executive window and select Statics for Type and Full
Plastic
Collapse/Pushove for Subtype. The file Id of 000 is chosen in the first analysis.
Step 2 Select Analysis Options
Check options for Environmental Loading, Solve, Foundation, and Non-Linear / Plastic.
Step 3 Select input files
SACS model input file is SACINP.DAT;
SeaState input file is SEAINP.DAT;
Foundation input file is PSIINP.DAT;
Collapse input file is CLPINP.000
See below picture for the selected options:

Section 3 Run the analysis and review the results

Check the results from collapse view:
After a collapse analysis is finished, a collapse view file clprst.000 will be created. Double click
the file name, collapse view program will open the file and many results can be checked on the
screen. Several reports, such as analysis history report, joint report, member report, and pile
capacity report can be generated.
The part of pile capacity report generated from collapse view is shown below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Collapse view also can show the structural damage graphically, see the following pictures.

The parts of results also can be viewed by graphic curves.

Select the Total Joint Displacement as the output parameter for X axis and 100 cm as the
maximum value, the Load Factor as the output parameter for Y axis, and omit the final load
increment from the graph, see the followings

The curve is shown as below.

Check collapse output listing file:

The listing file reports the selected outputs, such as joint deflections and member stresses. It also
includes the total ship impact energy, and the energy absorbed by structure at each load
increment. Listing file also indicates the structure damages.
The following are parts of the listing file.
