Analysis of Time Period of Reinforced Concrete Building with and without Steel Bracings

The aim of this present study is to find out the possible effective earthquake mitigation system by adopting steel bracings for the low, medium and high raise buildings. Also the study highlights the building performance by obtaining the natural time period and the corresponding results shows that the reinforced concrete building with steel bracing system performs better than any other normal building under severe earthquake zones of India. Based on the study undertaken the project aims to determine the extent of possible changes in the seismic performance of low medium & high rise RC framed buildings. This research involves the various analysis techniques to determine the lateral forces ranging from purely linear to non-linear inelastic analysis. The entire process of modeling, analysis and design of all the primary elements for all the models are carried out by using ETABS 2016 nonlinear version software and its software implementation. In India the Standardized method of analysis is followed by using a code – IS1893 (Part 1):2002 – "Criteria for Earthquake resistant design of structures".
