Summary An improved consecutive modal pushover (ICMP) procedure is proposed to enhance the accuracy of conventional CMP procedure for estimating seismic demands of tall buildings. It accounts for inelastic structural properties and interaction between vibration modes. The displacement increment at the roof of buildings used in each stage of pushover analyses is modified based on the displacement contribution of each mode. The performance of the proposed ICMP procedure is verified against three high‐rise frames subjected to various ground motions. The results obtained from the ICMP procedure are compared with those from the nonlinear time history analysis, conventional pushover analysis, and CMP analysis. The comparison shows the advantages of the ICMP over the other pushover procedures. It is concluded that the ICMP procedure is more accurate than the CMP procedure.
