The main goal of this research is to evaluate the nonlinear seismic behavior of special RC moment with and without viscous dampers at the floor level. In this research, 2 high-rise three-dimensional RC building frames of 12 and 16 stories, each frame with 8 models, 4 models with and 4 models without viscous damper at the floor level, located in the area with High seismicity on type 3 soil is considered. In order to seismic analysis of frames with and without viscous dampers, nonlinear static analysis method was used according to the second appendix of Iran earthquake regulations, fourth edition. The initial dimensions of the structural elements of the studied frames and the thickness of the roof slabs have been determined in ETABS-V15 and SAFE2014 software, respectively, and finally, modeling, gravity and lateral loading, and nonlinear static analysis of the studied frames have been performed in the SAP2000-V19 software. The results show that the change in the sections of beams and columns from square to rectangle in frames with and without viscous damper causes an increase in the relative lateral displacement of the floors, as well as an increase in the number of openings along the Y axis (model 1 compared to 3), and an increase in the length of the opening along the Y axis (model 1 Compared to 4), in frames with and without viscous damper, it reduces the absolute lateral displacement of floors.

Energy dissipation systems have been broadly used in structures during the recent decades in order to reduce earthquake and wind forces as well as reduction of structural lateral drifts within the code limits. Viscous damper is considered as one of the energy dissipation systems which are classified as velocity-dependent dampers among passive control systems and have been paid attention and their further detailed properties taken into account by many researchers. Viscous damper consists of a piston with some orifices inside the cylinder which contains highly viscous fluid. Energy dissipation of this damper is through pushing viscous fluid out of the orifices. These are two types of these dampers: linear and nonlinear from which linear type with velocity power of one is more practical. The structural damping force is usually set according to the procedure described in FEMA273 and are optimized by three controlled modes of displacement, velocity and acceleration. This study examines the effect of adding viscous dampers on seismic behavior of steel moment frames. For this purpose, three steel moment frames of 1, 3 and 6-story all in 3 bays, with viscous dampers having power factor of 1, 0.8 and 0.6 are selected. These sample structures are subjected to the nonlinear time history analysis under the El Centro, Kobe and Northridge earthquakes, and their response including displacement, acceleration and base shear is compared in two cases of with and without viscous dampers. Finally, regarding nonlinear time history analysis results based on the structural behavior in three modes controlled by displacement, velocity and acceleration, proper damping forces are specified as 94.7, 240.1 and 557.1 kN respectively for one, three and six story structures based on maximum acceleration and base share obtained from FEMA273.

The target of seismic improvement of a building is to strengthen the structural and non-structural members in order to reduce the earthquake damage. Dampers dissipate the structure’s energy.By using these types ofequipment,the damage to the structure is dramatically reduced. In this article steel frames with three, six and ten stories with and withoutdampers aremodeled in SAP software.They are evaluated by using seismic retrofitting guidelinesand nonlinear static method. The results show that adding a viscous damper reduces seismic effect and damage performancelevel.In addition, using dampersin high-rise structures is more effective than shorter ones in reducing the effects of an earthquake.
