The RC structure is seven storied (G+6) building


having floor plan with 4 openings having 4m distance along
longitudinal direction and 3 openings having 4m distance
along transverse direction as shown in figure. 2.

slab is 0.125 M and brick wall is 0.230 M.
 The live load is 3 KN/m2 and Floor finish load is 1
KN/m2 for all floors.
 Structure is located in seismic region III.
 For Seismic analysis Staad-pro V8i software is used.

minimizes when bracings are provided, while the
displacement is high for without bracing.

As per the lateral displacement story drift also minimizes when bracing system is provided, while the story drift is maximum for
the structure without bracing.

VI. CONCLUSIONS

The use of steel braced RC frames as the main lateral


load resistance system for RC structures is a promising
technique. Bracing system increases not only the lateral
stiffness but strength capacity also. Steel bracings used as
an alternative method to improve retrofitting techniques and
strengthening.

1. The percentage reduction of lateral displacements for


structure with X bracing to the without bracing is shown in
the table below.

Table 4

2.Therfore X type of bracing is found more effective for


lateral displacement but other types of bracing can also be
used as per the site requirement and exterior design and
aesthetic conditions.
3.The story drift also minimizing when bracings are
provided, thus the overall response of the building
decreases.
