Optimum usage of mixed damping systems (rubber concerete or x diagonal dampers) on multystory building

This research aims to compare usage of X plate chevron dampers (Wen Plasticity Dampers) in a concrete multi-story framed building which installed in different locations of the structure, in accompany of using rubberized concrete - treated crumped rubber added to concrete aggregates - using different rubber percentages for the building's members. Comparison of Nonlinear Push Over Analysis of models' results were done, such as transmitted base shear forces, roof displacement, pseudo acceleration, pseudo displacement, effective period, ductility ratio and most importantly effective damping ratio which plays major role in reducing demand curve of the design response spectrum. Two and three-dimensional multi story building models had analyzed by SAP2000 and ETABS, compared analysis results according to multiple study cases will be shown, trying to reach optimum usage of such damping systems.
