Seismic Behaviour Of RC Structures With Lateral Resistive System

Abstract

In recent timeslateral resistive system are commonly used to increase the seismic carrying capacity of the structure.Use of bracings and shear wall are the major solutions for the laterally inadequate structures during ground motion. To know the importance of bracings, shear wall, 7 various types of models are considered for G+ 14 storeys under seismic zone v and compared with bare frame structure. This structure is analysed for linear static analysis using ETABs 16.0.2. From the results it is seen that inverted V bracings with shear wall in longitudinal directions is more efficient for seismic forces out of all other type of models.
