Effect of Using Passive Energy Dissipating System on the seismic response of high-rise concrete structures isolated by lead rubber isolators.

Considering the increasing use of seismic isolators in the country, which reduce the force on structural members and increase the overall displacement of the structure during an earthquake, it is necessary to create an optimal method for using this system along with reducing the overall displacement of the structure. Also, the use of damper systems reduces the overall and inter-floor movement of the structure during an earthquake. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the effect of using damping systems to optimize seismic isolators. On the other hand, the optimal use of the combination of two damper and isolator systems can be effective in reducing construction costs and repair costs resulting from earthquakes and provides structures with optimal performance. Therefore, in this article, two viscous and frictional dampers as well as isolator were used in high-rise concrete structures with 15 and 20 floors and the combination of these two systems was evaluated in the behavior of the structure. The structures are separated by lead core rubber isolators. The results were studied under three earthquake records of the nearby area. The results showed the positive effect of dampers and separators on the behavior of the structure, and reasonable results were obtained depending on the seismic records used in the article. also, showed the positive effect of the combination of separators and dampers in reducing the amount of relative displacement, roof displacement and base shear. The simultaneous use of damper and isolator in the structures caused a 35% reduction in the base shear of the structures, 47% in the maximum relative displacement and 29% in the displacement of the roof point.
