Response Simulation of G+16 Commercial Building with Different Types of Bracing Systems Using ETABS

Multi-storey structures are affected mainly by tremor compel in the seismic inclined zone. The real issue in the plan of the multi storey structure is the buildings mostly have enough horizontal solidness and oppose sidelong powers to control the lateral float of the structure, assigning respective loadings, analyzing the behaviour of the structure, and predicting the responses of each structural component due to external loads. Our project “Response simulation of G+16 commercial building with different types of bracings like single diagonal, V bracing, inverted V bracing, X bracing and K bracing using ETABS software” is one of the attempts made to analyze and design a commercial building using ETABS. Steel bracings are economical with easy erection, occupy less space and have the flexibility to design to meet the required strength parameter and stiffness. In the model, the author considers the building models with different bracing systems based on the journals the authors investigated. Therefore, the project concentrated some design factors like storey displacement drift and storey stiffness.
