Effect of Bracings on the Performance of High-Rise Structure Considering the Influence of Earthquake

India is divided into four seismic zones and about 60% of the land area is under Zones III, IV and V. Severe earthquakes being destructive can cause significant structural damage or even collapse. The structure with RC wall protects them from lateral loads. RC walls can be used in structures to prevent excessive displacement and, also damage caused by displacement. Among the damaged structures during an earthquake, there were some structures with RC walls. In order to investigate the behaviour of RC walls in high-rise structure with and without bracings and its influence on the earthquake response of the high-rise structure, a numerical model of G + 32 structure was stimulated using a numerical tool ETABS 2019. The results in terms of displacement, storey stiffness, storey drift and torsional irregularity were presented and compared for Zone-II and Zone-V. The study broadly reveals that the seismic response of the structure is predominant and RC wall with bracing is more significant for destructive earthquakes.
