In urban India many such buildings constructed in recent times have a special feature open ground storey for the purpose of parking. In the upper storey have walls makes building many times stiffer in the upper stories than in the open ground storey which create soft storey. During past earthquake several collapse had been observed due to soft storey effect. To strengthen the soft storey generally shear wall and bracing are used but it increases base shear of structure. So the Alternative method to strengthen the soft storey carbon strands is used. In the present studied, the performance of carbon strands and bracing is analyzed for G+4, G+9, G+14 R.C Frame building. The response of building is analyzed with structural parameters i.e. Displacement and Base shear.
