In the construction industry steel structures played an important role in providing the strength, stability and ductility against seismic forces. It is necessary to design a structure to perform well under seismic loads. In the present study, modeling of the steel braced structures with a different combination of bracings and analysis of structure using ETAB software are done. A bracing element in the structural system plays a vital role in structural behaviour during an earthquake. In this study two types of bracings are used X and V bracings in Zone III and analysis is carried out by Response Spectrum Method. Various parameters are considered such as Natural Time period, Base shear, Storey displacement and Storey stiffness were studied. From this study it is concluded that, X-bracing are the best bracing system for reducing the storey displacement. It is also observed that base shear is high in X-bracing system because of the increased stiffness. In this work Comparison between the seismic parameters such as Natural Time period, base shear, storey displacement and Storey stiffness for steel frame with different combination of bracing and without bracing are studied.
