In the seismic design phase of reinforced concrete buildings infilled with masonry either by brick (solid or hollow) or by concrete block (solid or hollow), with the existence of shear walls, we need to know the appropriate value of the behavior factor for this interaction of systems.

My question is what is the value to be taken for the behavior factor in case of seismic analysis of this type of buildings to evaluate their seismic response according to the famous world seismic codes.
