2. Capacity Spectrum Method using Pushover Analysis
Performance based methodologies may be summarized by six tasks:
Task 1: Specification of a performance objective.
Task 2: Selection of a trial design.
Task 3: Development of a mathematical model of the design.
Task 4: Analysis of the mathematical model of the trial design.
Task 5: Determination of the seismic demands on the trial design.
Task 6: Assessments of the seismic performance of the designed structure at the global and element levels to ascertain that the performance objective specified in task 1
If the performance objective is not satisfied, the design is revised and tasks 3 to 5 are repeated

3. Capacity Spectrum Method using Pushover Analysis
Capacity Curve: is a plot of the lateral load-deflection response of the building structure when applied to pushover analysis.
Demand curve: The inelastic acceleration displacement response spectrum represents the demand curve
The capacity curve is to be superimposed on demand curve
Performance Point: The point where the demand curve of the earthquake intersects capacity curve of the building is termed as the performance point and defines the seismic demand
