The Windows-based computer program, INSTRUCT (INelastic STRUCTural Analysis of Reinforced-Concrete and Steel Structures) software product is disseminated under the sponsorship of the U.S. The popularity of pushover analysis is mainly due to its ability to identify the failure modes of bridge piers and provide the progressive collapse sequence of damaged bridges when subjected to major earthquakes.

The 2006 FHWA Seismic Retrofitting Manual for Highway Structures (Part I-Bridges) adopted the pushover analysis for bridges in Seismic Retrofit Categories C and D, to assess bridge seismic capacity. The 2009 AASHTO Guide Specifications for LRFD Seismic Bridge Design explicitly requires pushover analysis for Seismic Design Category D bridges. Note: The pushover analysis, or nonlinear static monotonic analysis, has become a common practice for performance-based bridge seismic design. INSTRUCT is a useful tool for bridge engineers to assist in implementing the latest seismic design and retrofitting methodology.

For steel pile cap bent, the post buckling behavior of bracing members is considered in the pushover analysis. In addition, column axial load-moment interaction and axial load-plastic rotation capacity are incorporated into INSTRUCT. For concrete column bents, all possible column failure modes are checked by INSTRUCT. The Windows-based computer program, INSTRUCT ( INelastic STRUCTural Analysis of Reinforced-Concrete and Steel Structures) is capable of performing 1) moment-curvature analysis of reinforced-concrete circular and rectangular sections 2) pushover analysis of typical concrete column intermediate bents and 3) pushover analysis of typical steel pile cap bents.
