Analysis of RC Building for Different Seismic zone with Braced and Unbraced system

Analyses of high-rise RC building frames with bracing systems have been conducted. Bracing systems are lateral load resisting systems that are very efficient and unyielding. Bracing systems are one of the components in RC buildings that increase stiffness and strength to protect buildings from natural forces such as earthquake force. The proposed problem analyses an RC story building frame for various bracing systems under seismic loading. STADD Pro analysis software is used. To assess the efficacy of a specific type of bracing system to control the lateral displacement and member forces in the frame, the results of various bracing systems (X bracing, V bracing, K bracing, Inverted V bracing, and Inverted K bracing) are compared with bare frame model analysis. It is discovered that all bracing techniques efficiently control the lateral displacement of the frame.
