In order to prevent disproportionate collapse, progressive collapse analysis of reinforced concrete structures evaluates the structural response to abrupt local failures or unusual loading circumstances. The pushover analysis, is used for nonlinear static analysis, which is a structural analysis technique used to assess a building's or other structure's seismic performance. When evaluating the behaviour and capacity of structures exposed to lateral loads, as those caused by earthquakes, it is especially helpful. Push over analysis is used for a Special Moment Resisting Frame (SMRF) and Ordinary Moment Resisting Frame (OMRF); which are defined as, a structural structure called a Special Moment Resisting Frame (SMRF) is frequently utilized in the design of earthquake-resistant buildings to withstand lateral stresses brought on by seismic activity. Because of their high degree of ductility and capacity for energy dissipation, SMRFs are able to withstand considerable deformation during seismic events without collapsing,; whereas an Ordinary Moment Resisting Frame (OMRF) is a type of structural system used in building construction to resist lateral forces such as those induced by wind or moderate seismic activity. While not as robust or ductile as Special Moment Resisting Frames (SMRFs), OMRFs still provide adequate resistance to lateral loads in many building applications. As well as the effect of base shear which is a critical concept in structural engineering, particularly in the design and analysis of buildings and other structures subject to seismic activity; which refers to the total horizontal force at the base of a structure due to seismic activity. This force is a result of the ground shaking during an earthquake, which induces inertia forces throughout the structure.
