This article is a state‐of‐the‐art review of the simplified inelastic analytical procedure commonly referred to as the ‘pushover analysis’ to estimate the seismic response of buildings. The basic steps of a pushover analysis are outlined. The choices available to users in each step are discussed and past studies involving the pushover procedure are briefly reviewed. Finally, the accuracy of the method compared to inelastic dynamic analysis is presented using examples.
