Abstract Due to various deficiencies, inadequate lateral stiffness, weak design and weak construction, many reinforced concrete buildings are highly damaged during the major earthquakes. One way to retrofit these buildings is to improve the behavior and to prevent the total collapse of the reinforce masonry infilled walls in order to make them behave such as structural walls with composite materials. In this study, the concept of equivalent strut is investigated by finite element modeling and behavior of the compression strut and tension tie is presented to model unretrofit and retrofit masonry infilled walls. Analytical pushover results show great accordance with experimental results.
