Abstract

The concrete structures exposed to the earthquake have the potential of cracking and reduction in stiffness and strength. Because of their low deformability, there would be some cracking and plastic hinging in the moment-resisting frame. The utilization of dampers is a solution to improve the behavior of the constructed structures. Dampers play a crucial role in improving structural performance level and bearing capacity. In the present study, 9 concrete frames were tested, and steel yield dampers have been used for the seismic rehabilitation of the concrete moment-resisting frames. The yield dampers elements are ADAS dampers (Added Damping and Stiffness) connected to the concrete frame using steel braces. The concentric-type steel braces connect the dampers and concrete beams. Furthermore, to investigate the influence of the braces on the structure’s strength and behavior three concentrated braces have been installed in the structure. The structure in which ADAS dampers was employed demonstrated more strength and less recorded damages than the simple moment-resisting frame. In the present study, the effect of braces and dampers have been investigated in the behavior of the structure, cracking, and strength. The strength of the frames was increased by 48% and 21% by employing steel braces and yield dampers in the concrete frames, respectively, comparing the control frame.
