Abstract
Earthquake is the natural catastrophe it produces strong ground motions to affect the building structure. Weak motions that cannot be discern by the humans. The shear walls and bracings are institute to magnify the lateral stiffness, ductility, minimum lateral displacements and safety of the building structure. Storey drift and lateral displacements are the critical issues in the seismic design of buildings structure. In this project a, G+16 storey building, along with shear wall and two different types of bracing is considered for analysis. The performance of building will be valuated on the basis of following specification – Storey displacement, Storey drift, Base shear. This work, shear walls and bracings are provided at edges with the overall analysis to be done by using ETABS software.
