Abstract
The design of the 15 storey R.C building (seismic zone V) is made in accordance with IS 456:2000 using ETABS software. It is already reported that provision of concentric bracing throughout the building are reliable during seismic activity. Hence, this work is aimed to improve the performance of multi storey R.C. building by provision of eccentric steel bracing through analysis. Different types of bracing such as V bracing, Chevron bracing and Diagonal bracing are provided in concentric and eccentric manner. The effect of distribution of steel bracing throughout the height of the building is examined. It is found that the deflection in the building increases with increase in eccentricity. Moreover, V type bracing with 10 percentage eccentricity is found to be most reliable under seismic activity compared to other arrangements.
