Nonlinear analysis methods such as static pushover or limit analysis until collapse are globally considered reliable tools for seismic and structural assessment. But the accuracy of seismic capacity estimates--which can prevent catastrophic loss of life and astronomical damage repair costs--depends on the use of the correct basic input parameters.
