Different areas have different effect of earthquake thus Bureau of Indian Standards has group four Seismic Zones in India, i.e., Zone II, III, IV, V. Therefore there is a need of a building to withstand the displacement due to seismic load. This paper includes the study on the literature of comparison of lateral displacement in a building with bracing and without bracing. It has been concluded from literatures that installing the bracing in the structure can reduce the lateral displacement of a building. Keywords: Bracing, lateral displacement, seismic load INTRODUCTION Following the recent trends of earthquake all over the world, it is observed that there is very high risk for earthquake, thus creating a need of earthquake resistant structure. The tall structures are prone to the seismic load and wind load. For this purpose of enhancing the stiffness and reducing lateral displacement there are various methods to resist these lateral loads like base isolation, formation of hollow foundations, tuned mass dampers, horizontal bands and bracings. Among these application, bracing is one of the best methods to resist these kinds of loads. Bracing can be applied concentrically or eccentrically. The cross bracings are one of the mostly used types of bracing. Bracings are very efficient in overcoming the elastic seismic waves. This is used for strengthening the building by increasing its stiffness and displacement capacity keeping the lateral displacement as low as possible. Various types of bracings can be used like X, V and Inverted V etc. OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY The objective of this is to find out the comparison in the braced building and unbraced building. This is to evaluate the response of the braced frame and unbraced frame under seismic loads, like base shear and lateral displacement in a structure. Beside the comparative study of both types of frames, it was found that which types of bracing is most suitable for earthquake resistant structure. LITERATURE REVIEW Bharat Patel (2017), They examined the base shear and lateral displacement for G+10 structures like Moment Resisting Frame (MRF), R.C.C building with V bracing (VBF) and R.C.C building with X bracing (XBF). The structures were analyzed using ETABS for Seismic Zone II. It was found that the base shear was highest in XBF and lowest in MRF. However the displacement was found for every storey for each structure, and was found that Displacement was highest in MRF and this was reduced considerably in XBF and VBF. These results concluded
