The method compares the capacity of the structure (in the form of a pushover curve) with the demand on the structure (in the form of a response spectrum). The graphical intersection of the two curves approximates the response of the structure. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:21:55</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31304558</termId><termName>method, capacity spectrum</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31298665</termId><termName>analysis and testing techniques</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
