Review Paper on Seismic Comparison of Different Types (V, Diagonal and X) of Bracings on Different Shapes of Buildings (L, H, T and Rectangular) with Response Spectrum Method

Abstract

An unexpected release of energy due to the movement of plates or rocks in the ground which one by one causes earthquakes. Various bracing types were used in the structure to perform seismic design to improve the performance of the frame structure. i.e., X-shaped, Inverted-Vshaped, ZX-shaped, Inverted-V-shaped frame is a conventional concentric frame type. The behavior of this arrangement will be controlled by compression of braces of the first story, resulting in the localization of the failure and the loss of horizontal resistance. This paper discusses about the observed behavior of irregular building structure for different plans such as rectangular, H, L and T. Modelling of 25 levels of RCC frame building will be done in ETABS software for analysis. The maximum shear force, bending moment, and maximum story displacement are calculated and then compared for all analyzed structures.
