Today steel is the most useful building material in the construction field.and the progress of steel usage has provided a consequence growth in construction industry. It is well established that steel provides better strength , stability, uniformity ,light weight and ductility to the structure. The structure should be good enough to withstand seismic loads as well as lateral loads. The aims of study is to determine that the steel braces is one of the useful method to reduce seismic forces specifically knee bracing which gives most of the flexural yielding and lateral stiffness In this reference a 6 storey knee steel frame structure with a plan of 9 m *9 m is utilized. To test the results that the knee braced framed structure gives better results as compared to the bared frame.by using ETABS software based on IS 1893:2002 guidelines A 6 storey knee braced steel structure has been analyzed. for calculating base shear and lateral force on each storey Equivalent static analysis method used and compared with bare frame. ETABS software results are compared with manual results.
