ABSTRACT
The most of the RCC buildings were failed Iin the past due to lateral load. Bracings systems are one of the lateral
load resisting system which has got structural importance specially in reinforced concrete buildings. Different
bracing systems are efficient enough for seismic responses. Steel bracing systems have both practical and
economical advantages. The application of steel bracings is faster to execute. The steel bracings are usually installed
between existing vertical members. The purpose of the study of seismic response of a building is to design and build
a structure in which the damage to the structure and its structure component by earthquake is minimized. The paper
aims towards the review of study of analysis of Unbraced and braced multistorey RCC building conducted by
various authors in the past.

INTRODUCTION
In earthquake design the building has to go through regular motion at its base, which leads to inertia force in the
building that consecutively causes stresses. India has experienced number of earthquakes that caused large damage
to residential and industrial structure. For earthquake resistant design the normal building should be able to resist
minor, moderate, sever shaking. In the circumstances of the building, simple shape configuration building transfer
the earthquake force in the direct path to the base while in complex shape building the load transferring path is
indirect which leads to generation of stresses at the corners. Seismic Analysis is a subset of structural analysis and is
the calculation of the response of a building structure to earthquakes. It is part of the process of structural design,
earthquake engineering or structural assessment and retrofit in regions where earthquakes are prevalent. In order to
make multi-storey structures stronger and stiffer, which are more susceptible to earthquake and wind forces, the
cross sections of the member increases from top to bottom this makes the structure uneconomical owing to safety of
structure .The behavior of the buildings during earthquake depends not only on the size of the members and amount
of reinforcement, but to a great extent on the placing and detailing of the reinforcement. Therefore, it is necessary to
provide special mechanism that to improve lateral stability of the structure. There are various types of bracing
systems like X bracing, V bracing, inverted V bracing, K bracing, diagonal bracing and so on.
