SEISMIC ANALYSIS OF G+10 BUILDING WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF BRACING BY USING ETABs SOFTWARE

  1. Akshay Kathe

Abstract

In general the most suitable choices in improvement of steel frame against lateral loading is used steel bracing system. In this study, the seismic analysis of steel buildings with different types of bracings is studied. The bracing system used are X-bracings, V-bracings, ZX-bracings and inverted V-bracings compared with moment resisting frame. The bracings are provided along wall. The building is modeled and analyzed using ETABs software for 11 storey (G +10) building situated in Pune. The zone III as per 1893-2002 is selected for the study. Analysis is carried out by using response spectrum analysis. The effects of some parameter like displacement, base shear and storey drift influencing the seismic performance including type of bracing system is investigated.
