It　has　been　recognized　that　the　seismic　performance-based　design　should　be　used　as　a　common　method　in　seismic　design　of　structures.　Expressions　for　evaluating　the　seismic　capacity　of　confined　concrete　block　(CCB)　wall　combined　with　its　restoring　force　characteristic　model　are　proposed　in　this　paper.　Then　the　proposed　model　is　applied　to　the　nonlinear　dynamic　response　and　the　nonlinear　static-pushover　analyses　with　different　lateral　force　distributions　of　three　typical　CCB　buildings　of　six,　seven　and　eight　stories.　Based　on　the　obtained　numerical　results　the　effects　of　site　condition,　input　acceleration　level　and　lateral　force　pattern　in　the　pushover　analysis,　etc.　on　structure　responses　are　discussed　and　some　conclusions　are　reached.　They　would　be　beneficial　for　the　application　of　the　pushover　analysis　to　the　seismic　performance　evaluation　of　CCB　buildings.
