I am doing a pushover curve on a six story inverted Chevron Braced Frame System. I want to know what some "ballpark" figures are for the maximum roof displacements would be? Also, the approximate force to pushover the building. I just some ballpark numbers from previous pushover analysis just so i feel comfortable that i am getting reasonable results. This building is being subjected to El Centro Earthquake.

Thanks for the help
