Pseudo-static is basically the "Equivalent Lateral Force Procedure" when it comes to seismic design.
There are quite a few example problems on this subject but it isn't found in your CERM or CERM problem books. You will have to buy the 6 minute solutions for structural (civil/structural PM or structural I), or buy a ppi book that deals specifically for seismic analysis.
I hope this helps.

Thanks everybody for your fast response. Besides problems to Calc CSR ratio for liquefaction....Could you give an idea where to find pseudo-static anlysis. Is this topic just to convert Dynamic forces to Static in the problem....could you post an example?
Thanks
