Ohtori et al., 2004) is taken for the study of seismic response reduction of the frame by providing viscous fluid dampers for scissor-jack mechanisms. The model linear time history analysis of the frame subjected to four types of time history earthquake loads with scissor-jack dampers is carried out using SAP2000 software. The four Time Histories considered for the frame analysis are N-S component of El Centro, N-S component of Kobe, N-S component of Northridge and S-E component of S_Monica. The Scissor-jack dampers are distributed along the height of the frame to reduce the seismic response of the building. Among the four time history analysis, the peak responses such as absolute acceleration, displacements, drifts, damper displacements, and damper forces for the six different models of the frame with scissor-jack dampers are found out. The average response reduction values between the bare frame and the six models are presented in this paper. The optimumm and cost effective placement of damper in the bare frame is arrived by comparing the peak average response reduction values of the models. The peak average response reduction values of the optimum model for absolute acceleration, displacements and drifts are 71.3, 46.9 and 53.1 respectively. Key words :drifts, scissor-jacabsolute acceleration, drifts, peak responses, scissor-jack dampers, peak responses, absolute acceleration dampers.

INTRODUCTION The placing of fluid dampers to a structure does not significantly alter its natural period, but it increases damping from about 2 to 5% (internal damping) to between 20% and 40%, and sometimes even more (Haskell and lee, 2007). It is found that external damping beyond 30% results in small decrease in responses, and such increases lead to usage of more dampers (Hanson and soong, 2001). The use of fluid dampers results in reduction of storey shear forces. Due to the viscous nature, fluid dampers reduce drifts and thus column bending editor@iaeme.com

2 Seismic Response of Multistoreyed Steel Frame with Viscous Fluid Scissor Jack Dampers moments, while introducing additional column axial forces which are out-of phase with the bending moments (Constantinou MC and Symmans MD 1992). In order to study the response of the structure (internal forces) as a function of time for a specific ground motion, the accelerograms of the design earthquake or having several representative accelerograms of big earthquakes are used. These types of accelerograms with respect to time can be given as input in software and responses of the structures can be found out. The accelerograms are applied to the structure as shown in Fig. 1. The ground accelerations for El Centro and Kobe, S_Monica and Northridge earthquakes time history earthquakes are shown in Fig. 2. These four types of Time Histories earthquakes (THEQ) such as El Centro (EC), Kobe (KO), Northridge (NR) and S_monica (SM) are considered in this study. The PGAs for the earthquake records are m/s 2, 5.79 m/s 2, m/s 2 and 2.25 m/s 2 respectively. Figure 1 Accelorograms input to structure Figure 2 Time histories of El Centro and Kobe, S-monica and Northridge earthquakes Dynamic loads on structure due to earthquake cause excessive vibrations leading to severe damage to the structures. Vibration can be reduced using passive, semi-active or active control devices. Various applications of these energy dissipation devices are used in many countries. In all these applications, damper configurations have been used to deliver the forces from energy dissipation devices to the structural frame. Generally the damper configurations are classified based on the orientation of damper and the way of device attachment to the structural element such as chevron brace configuration, Lower toggle configuration and scissor-jack configuration editor@iaeme.com

3 J.Premalatha, R.Manju and V.Senthilkumar A. Viscoelastic Solid Dampers Viscoelastic solid dampers consist of solid elastomeric pads viscoelastic material bonded to steel plates. The steel plates are attached to the structure within chevron or diagonal bracing. As one end of the damper displaces with respect to the other, the viscoelastic material is sheared resulting in the development of heat which is dissipated to the environment. Due to this nature, they exhibit both elasticity and viscosity i.e., they are displacement and velocity dependent (Chang et al. 2010). Figure 4 Viscoelastic solid damper, (Chang et al., 1995) Viscoelastic (VE) damper is one of important kind of passive energy devices these have been used as energy dissipation devices in many structures where the damper undergoes shear deformations. Viscoelastic materials exhibit combined features of viscous liquid and elastic solid when deformed. In other words they dissipate a certain amount of energy as heat and return to their original shape after every cycle of deformation. Viscoelastic shear damper is described by (Mahmoodi et. al., 1969) and he also mentioned that it can be efficient in decreasing the dynamic response of buildings. Viscoelastic dampers made of bonded acrylic polymers (Viscoelastic) layers. The extension of Viscoelastic shear damper to seismic applications is more recent. For seismic applications, more effective use of viscoelastic materials is required since large damping ratios than those for wind are usually required. Fig. 4 shows a typical viscoelastic shear damper consists of viscoelastic layers bonded to steel plate. When these dampers are mounted to a building structure shear deformations occur, as a result energy dissipation take place when relative motion occurs between the outer steel flanges and central plate. As per Clause no of IS1893(Part 1):2002[1], the peak storey drift in any storey due to specified design lateral force with partial load factor of 1.0, shall not exceed x h s, where, h s is storey height (3960 mm). So maximum inter-storey drift allowed= = 16 mm. From the linear time history analysis, the peak storey drift in X- and Y-directions should be within the allowable limits. Hence, if less than the allowable inter-storey drift 16mm, the structure is assumed to be safe. B. Scissor-Jack Configuration For 20 storey benchmark building, scissor jack configurations are placed along with viscous fluid dampers. For supporting scissor-jack system with beams and columns, plates are placed in between the ends of scissor jack and beams and columns. Plates are provided because scissor-jack system cannot be directly connected to beams or columns. The scissor jack system members are of angular type sections. The configuration of scissor-jack in ground and other typical floors are placed as shown Fig. 5 and Fig.6 The magnification factor for this configuration depends on the orientation of the damper (i.e. θ and Ψ). The angles θ and Ψ in the ground floor of the 20-storey building with scissor jack configuration are 8º and 62º respectively as shown in Fig. 5. The angles θ and Ψ in the remaining floors (typical floors) of the 20-storey building with scissor jack configuration are 10º and 52.84º respectively as editor@iaeme.com

For scissor jack configuration in the ground floor and other typical floors of 20-storey building, the magnification factors are 3.34 and 3.43 respectively. Figure 5 Scissor-jack configuration for floors above ground floor + Figure 6 Scissor-jack configuration for ground floor The damper type chosen for scissor jack system is viscous fluid dampers. In SAP2000, for viscous fluid dampers, link properties type is taken as damper. The main properties governing dampers are damper stiffness (k) and damping coefficient (C 0 ).

LINEAR TIME HISTORY ANALYSIS FOR SCISSOR-JACK MECHANISM AND ITS RESPONSES Linear time history analysis was carried out for all six models of scissor jack system buildings and responses such as absolute acceleration (a), displacements (d), inter-storey drifts (dr), damper displacements (dd) and damper forces (df) are found out for four different time histories considered for analysis such as El Centro (EC), Kobe (KO), Northridge (NR) and S_Monica (SM) with PGAs normalized to 0.35g. The responses of absolute acceleration (a) for all six models are represented as graphs and are given in Fig. 12. The responses of displacements (d) for all six models are represented as graphs and are given in Fig. 13. The responses of inter-storey drifts (dr) for all six models are represented as graphs and are given in Fig. 14. The responses of damper displacements (dd) for all six models are represented as graphs and are given in Fig. 15. The responses of damper forces (df) for all six models are represented as graphs and are given in Fig. 16. Among the four time histories EQ analysis, such as El Centro (EC), Kobe (KO), Northridge (NR) and S_Monica (SM), the peak responses and its difference between bare frame are found for absolute acceleration, displacements, drifts, damper displacements, and damper forces for each model Now peak responses from different models (SJ_M 1, SJ_M 2, SJ_M 3, LT_M 4, LT_M 5, and LT_M 6 ) are compared with peak responses of bare frame and their respective peak response reduction is given in Table 8 to Table RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The Peak average response reductions as percentage for different models of scissor jack dampers are tabulated in Table 8 to Table 14. The Peak damper displacement and damper forces for different models of scissor-jack dampers are given in Table 15. The effective placement of damper in the bare frame is found by comparing the peak average response reduction values of six different models of scissor-jack dampers. SJ_M_6 model damper placements are found to be more effective and cost effective compared to other types of damper placement and distribution. The peak average response reduction values for SJ_M_6 model frame for absolute acceleration, displacements and drifts are 71.3, 46.9 and 53.1 respectively( Table 14). 6. CONCLUSIONS 1. The Time history analysis of 20 storey benchmark moment resisting steel frame with 6 different placements of Scissor-Jack dampers is carried out for 4 Types of Time Histories such as N-S component of El Centro, N-S component of Kobe, N-S component of Northridge and S-E component of S_Monica. 2. The peak responses such as absolute acceleration, displacements, drifts, damper displacements, and damper forces for the bare frame and six different models of the frame with scissor-jack dampers are found out. 3. The average response reduction values between the bare frame and the six models are presented. Significant reduction in seismic responses are observed in frames provided with scissor jack dampers. 4. The frame model SJ_M_6 is found to be the effective placement of scissor jack dampers for the bench mark steel frame. The peak average response reduction values for SJ_M_6 model frame for absolute acceleration, displacements and drifts are 71.3, 46.9 and 53.1 respectively (Table 14). 5. By Time history analysis, the peak inter-storey drift for the bare frame is found out as 56 mm ( Table 7) which is greater than the permissible limit of 16 mm. However, editor@iaeme.com

13 J.Premalatha, R.Manju and V.Senthilkumar the peak inter-storey drift for the SJ_M_6 model frame satisfied the permissible limit (16 mm) prescribed in the IS code (Table 15 ) which was achieved by proper placement of scissor jack dampers in the frame. 6.
