The recent push for performance-based approaches to be used in the design and evaluation of seismically vulnerable structures has greatly raised the need for trustworthy nonlinear inelastic static pushover analysis tools. As a result, in recent years, so-called adaptive pushover methods have been developed. These methods, unlike their conventional pushover counterparts, have the ability to take into account the distribution of seismic storey forces in relation to higher modes of vibration and progressive stiffness degradation. Because infill walls are an integral component of RC structures and increase the stiffness and strength of structures in seismically active areas, seismic evaluation and retrofit of reinforced concrete (RC) structures taking masonry infills into consideration is the suitable methodology. The SeismoStruct software was used to perform a nonlinear static adaptive pushover analysis on a three-dimensional, four-story building with masonry infills. In this study, three models have been taken into consideration: the full RC infilled frame, the open ground story RC-infilled frame, and the bare frame with no infills. A double strut nonlinear cyclic model has been used to simulate the infill walls. The "material strain limit technique" is employed in this work to evaluate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete buildings with masonry infills. This method, which determines the real damage possibilities for the structural members of RC constructions, is based on the threshold strain limits of concrete and steel. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to offer the material strain limit technique as the most efficient method for seismic evaluation and retrofit of any reinforced concrete structure.
