Abstract


This paper deals with effect of position and number of friction dampers on response of 2D frame. To fulfill this objective, five bay and fifteen story 2D frame is analyzed using software ETABS-2017. The study is carried out using two, three and four number of friction dampers with different locations keeping slip load and stiffness constant. As the behavior of friction damper is elasto-plastic, the Nonlinear time history analysis of all the frames is done using El Centro ground motion record. To study the effect of number and position, percentage energy dissipated in accordance with energy induced in the frame, fundamental time period, base shear, and joint displacement and member forces is considered. The results have showed that number and placement of damper influences significantly the structural response. A large number of dampers do not always lead to best benefit in terms of energy dissipation. It was found that the location of damper which tuned the building with respect to input acceleration dissipates maximum percentage of input energy.

Keywords: Friction damper, hysteretic energy, non-linear time history analysis, slip load
