design the structure to resist lateral loads by providing center to center each in both X & Y directions and height of
appropriate lateral load resisting system. There are many each storey being 3m. The plan of the building remains
alternatives available for lateral load resisting system same for all the floors. The study is carried out for
depending on the structure, type of lateral load, seismic different types of bracing systems with different
zone etc., Following are some of the lateral load resisting configurations using Response Spectrum method of
systems that are commonly used in practice analysis in ETABS 2015.

The displacement of the structure is reduced after Type of braces
application of braces compared to the bare frame. The
maximum reduction in storey displacement is observed in Fig. 5: Time Period (Sec) values for different bracing
X-braced frame i.e. 85.40% for Configuration 3 and system
minimum reduction is for K-braces i.e. 47.28 for
Configuration 2. The time period for a bare frame is 1.745sec. The
maximum reduction is 60.92% in X braces for
Lateral Displacement configuration 3. After incorporation of braces, there is a
160 reduction of the time period of the structure. This
Configuration 1
