Seismic Analysis of H-Shaped RC Building using Bracings and Friction Damper

Abstract

The present study looks at how different bracing strategies affect the structural performance of buildings. The structural effectiveness of a variety of bracing techniques was also investigated. A ten-storey commercial RC structure was built for this project and then examined under lateral loading. Different types of bracing systems, such as crossover bracing, V-type bracing, and eccentric bracing, were used to study the structural performance of the RC building. A comparison of tale displacement, narrative drift, and storey shear was conducted. Finally, under equivalent conditions, cross diagonally braced structure out performs X-bracing RC Construction with friction damper. As a result of this research, we can state that the displacement of RC buildings with X-bracing and friction dampers is reduced by 79.3 % and storey drift is reduced by 71.4 % when compared to RC buildings without X bracing. The use of X-bracing and dampers in construction additionally raises base shear by 53.20percent.
