INTRODUCTION
In last decades Steel structure plays an important role in

the construction industry. It is necessary to design a

structure to perform well under seismic loads.
Bracings can be used as retrofit as well. There are n
numbers of possibilities are there to arrange Steel
bracings. Such as D, K, and V type eccentric bracings.

AIM & OBJECTIVES

a) To investigate the seismic performance of a multi-story

steel frame building with different bracing arrangements

such as D, K and V, using Nonlinear Static Pushover
analysis method.
b) To evaluate the performance factors for steel frames
with various bracing arrangements designed according to
Indian Code.

NEED OF THE STUDY

In the present study, modeling of the steel frame under

the push over analysis using Seismostruct (2007)

software and the results so obtained have been
compared. Conclusions are drawn based on the ductility
and energy dissipation of pushover curves obtained

METHODOLOGY
a) A thorough literature review to understand the seismic

evaluation of building structures and application of

pushover analysis
b) Seismic behavior of steel frames with various eccentric
bracings geometrical and structural details
c) Model the selected in seismic behavior of steel frames
with various eccentric bracings computer software
Seismostruct (2007).
d) Carry out pushover analysis of seismic behavior of
steel frames with various eccentric bracings and arrive at
a conclusion.

MY WORK
There are several type of bracing arrengement like; D,k,V
.there is no particular specification for the above
arrengment that particular one is better than the other two.
My objective is to find the better arrengement .
My next objective is to find a better replacement of the
bracing by onother arrengements like; angle connection.
Make a better arrengement of the frame liki in rcc frame.
In rcc frame whole framework is tied with each other.
I find out a better possibility similar to the rcc frame.
