# Pushover Load \[CSB]

**Point:** Loading - Load Geometry Definitions - Point objects can be used for defining this parameter. The point will be utilized for location definition for the pushover point load.

**Pushover Case:** Specify a previously defined pushover case to be used for analysis.

**Fx:** Initial force acting along the X-axis, which will be increased by the related factors defined in the Pushover Load - Pushover Case object.

**Fy:** Initial force acting along the Y-axis, which can also be increased by the related factors defined in the Pushover Load - Pushover Case object.

**Fz (Gravity):** Initial force acting along the Z-axis (typically representing gravity), which will be increased by the related factors defined in the Pushover Load - Pushover Case object.

**Mx:** Initial moment about the X-axis, which will be increased by the related factors defined in the Pushover Load - Pushover Case object.

**My:** Initial moment about the Y-axis, which will be increased by the related factors defined in the Pushover Load - Pushover Case object.

**Mz :** Initial moment about the Z-axis, which will be increased by the related factors defined in the Pushover Load - Pushover Case object.

**Element \[Girder Top Flange/Girder Bottom Flange/Deck/Foundation/Pier Cap]:** OpenBrIM assigns the defined point loads to the selected element nodes based on their distance. If there is no node at the exact location, it is assigned to the nearest nodes based on distance.

**Pier Cap:** The pier cap that receives the pushover load. Pick a previously defined pier cap. Available when Element is set to Pier Cap. The user must provide a value.

**Column:** The column that receives the pushover load. Pick a previously defined column. Available when Element is set to a column. The user must provide a value.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.openbrim.org/templates/cable-stayed-bridge-workflow/loading-csb/loads-csb/pushover-load-csb/pushover-load-csb.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
