Abstract
3D RC’s of 5 and 12 stories, with a special bending frame lateral load-bearing system and shear wall in regular states and separate and simultaneous irregularities in plan and height, were investigated. After designing the models with ETABS 2015, a pendulum friction isolator was designed at their base level, and the seismic behavior in clamped and isolated states at the base was investigated under 7 near-field accelerometer records with nonlinear THDA. The research novelty is the simultaneous investigation of the effects of irregularity, seismic isolator, and horizontal and vertical components of the nearby fault on the performance of buildings with OpenSEES 2.5.0. The models had lateral displacement like a rigid body. The maximum floor drift ratio in long models was more reduced than in short models; In the isolated long models, along X and Y axes, were (79.1-88.3)% and (7.66-83.8)%, and in short models, (75-89)% and (50-82.5)%, respectively. The reduction of the base shear than the clamped state was (63-88)% in short isolated and (47-77)% in long models. The biggest difference in energy absorption (EA) of the isolated short models than the fixed state, related to the model with simultaneous irregularity in plan and height, along the X axis, was 135 kJ; it was 200 kJ in the long irregular model with 18.36% reduction in plan level along x-axis. The EA of other isolated long models was lower than the clamped mode; the use of pendulum friction isolator in long models in the area near the fault is not recommended.
