Abstract

Special systems are required to design buildings such that they will not undergo damage even in a severe
earthquake. Buildings with such better seismic performance usually cost more compare to normal buildings.
However, this cost is acceptable through improved earthquake performance. One of the technologies used to defend
buildings from damaging earthquake effects is “Braced Structural System”. The idea behind bracing is to resist the
building from the seismic forces in such a way that earthquake motions are not transmitted up through the building,
or at least greatly reduced. And also balance the force acting by the wind load. The work undertaken is an attempt to
recognize the behavior of “X” type RCC bracing system under lateral loading. A model of G+14 story RCC building
has been considered with “X” type RCC braced system is analysed using static analysis under dynamic and wind load.
