In this research, performance multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) with consideration of the hysteresis behavior and cracking effect of concrete structures under near field earthquake records with high intensity are carefully investigated. Inelastic analysis was performed by employing Takeda hysteresis model, on mathematical model in a state-space form using a program written in Matlab. In the first step, optimum parameter of TMD for single story frame equipped by spectrum TMD is obtained. In the second step, the best place of MTMDs for ten-story frame from two aspects, plastic energy dissipation and maximum lateral displacement, has been studied. And in the last step, the effect of building height in performance of MTMDs is investigated by analysis of a twenty-story resistance frame. Results show that entering the structure into the field of nonlinear behavior and increasing structure height, TMD does not affect the linear behavior of structure. On the other hand, by using the TMD better energy distribution is formed in structure and maximum energy of plastic hinges is reduced. To achieve the best place TMD should multiple target criteria parameters and all potential placement of MTMD simultaneously applied.
