The resistance to the lateral loads from wind or from an earthquake is the reason for the evolution of variousstructural systems. Bracing system is one such structural system which forms an integral part of the frame. Such astructure has to be analysed before arriving at the best type or effective arrangement of bracing. This project is about theefficiency of using different types of bracings and with different steel profiles for bracing members for multi-storey steelframes. ETABS software is used to obtain the design of frames and bracing systems with appropriate steel sectionselection for beams, columns and bracing members from the standard set of steel sections. A three dimensional structureis taken with 5 horizontal bays of width 5 meters, and 30 stories is taken with storey height of 3.5m. The beams andcolumns are designed to withstand dead and live load only. Wind load and Earthquake loads are taken by bracings. Thebracings are provided only on the peripheral columns. Maximum of 4 bracings are used in a storey for economicpurposes. In this study, an attempt has been made to study the effects of various types of bracing systems with respect todisplacement.
