Abstract: In the present study four G+5 steel structures were
modeled without bracings and having X, V bracings and diagonal
bracings with foundation depth of 2m support conditions are
assumed to be pinned at the bottom or at the supports/footings,
seismic loads are applied as per IS:1893-2002 The structures
having length = 28.2 m, width = 17m and height = 20m. The
structures modeled in STAAD.Pro“structural analysis and design
software by considering various loads and load combinations by
their relative occurrence are considered the material properties
considered are” Fe250 rolled steel sections structures were
considered in seismic zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 X type bracings systems
are observed to better in high seismic zones.

I. INTRODUCTION
Steel is widely used material in India it has both
compressive and tensile strength, steel can be developed in
any state and members are connected by welding and bolting,
steel members are erected as the materials are delivered to
site, steel has less fire resistance its strength and stiffness
changes with temperature, “The tallest structures today
(commonly called skyscrapers or high-rise) are constructed
using structural steel due to its constructability, as well as its
high strength-to-weight ratio. In comparison, concrete, while
being less dense than steel, has a much lower
strength-to-weight ratio. Structural steel and reinforced
concrete are not always chosen solely because they are the
most ideal material for the structure. Companies rely on the
ability to turn a profit for any construction project”, as do the
designers. The high cost of energy and transportation will
control the selection of the material as well. “All of these costs
will be taken into consideration before the conceptual design
of a construction project is begun. Structures consisting of
both materials utilize the benefits of structural steel and
reinforced concrete”. This is already common practice in
reinforced concrete in that the steel reinforcement is used to
provide steel's tensile strength capacity to a structural
concrete member. A commonly seen example would be
parking garages

Static and Dynamic Analyses, In this study a set of regular
multi-story steel buildings were considered with three kinds
of X, V and chevron bracing, in two placements of ‘two
adjacent bays’ and ‘two non-adjacent bays’ along the building
height, and their seismic behaviors were investigated. In all
three kinds of bracings the arrangement in non-adjacent bays
leads to lower stiffness but higher strength than arrangement
in adjacent bays. In all cases the chevron bracing leads to
higher stiffness compared to the other two types, while the
other two types show almost the same stiffness. The employed
seismic design code has resulted in more conservative design
of upper stories compared to the lower stories of the
buildings”. This means that using a single value for response
modification factor is not adequate.

Ahmad4, Yogendra Pratap5 made A Review Study on uses of
steel in construction and concluded that, Steel provide light
weight structure in comparison to concrete. Steel structure
easily allows alteration and expansion if needed. Steel
provide rapid construction in comparison to concrete. Steel
has its strength fix it did no gain strength with days as
compared to concrete. Earthquake resistant buildings can “be
made by the use of steel and it is economic also as compared
to concrete. Steel is biodegradable and recyclable. Steel did
not need curing. Steel structure provide long span. Steel
structure result less health hazards, less waste, less Energy
usage, less emissions and better Environmental work.” Steel
buildings are designed by trained structural engineers and
build in control environment so the raw material is not wasted
unlike the “conventional building material where the wastage
is huge. Braced steel frame have more base shear than
unbraced frames. Bracings reduce the lateral displacement of
floors. Axial forces in columns increases from unbraced to
braced system. Shear forces in columns decrease from
unbraced to braced system. Diagonal braced columns
undergo more shear force than cross braced.”

Behaviour of
Different Bracing Systems in High Rise 2-D Steel Buildings
under Wind Loadings For this purpose, “a two dimensional
dynamic wind analysis were carried out to on different braced
high rise 2- D steel building frames of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and
35 storeys to capture the structural response. This research is
carried out using five structural configurations of braced
frames: moment resisting frames (MRF), chevron braced
frames (CBF), V-braced frames (VBF),” X-braced frames
(XBF), and zipper braced frames (ZBF). MRF high rise 2-D
buildings show higher storey
displacement and inter-storey
drift ratios representing that
MRF “building are more
