In the structure of steel frame, there should be an appropriate lateral force resisting system which effect on the performance of the structure. It is necessary to design a structure to perform well under seismic loads. So this paper is aimed at investigating and comparing various types of bracings and without bracing systems and analysis of structure using ETAB software are done. During an earthquake , bracing element in the structural system plays a vital role in performance of steel frame . In this study two types of bracings are used Diagonal Forward Bracing and K- 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 shear, Storey drift and Storey stiffness were studied. From this study it is concluded that, X-bracing are the best bracing system for reducing the storey drift. It is also observed that base shear is high in Diagonal Forward Bracing system because of the increased stiffness. In this work Comparison between the seismic parameters such as Natural Time period, base shear, Storey shear , storey drift and Storey stiffness for steel frame with different combination of bracing and without bracing are studied.
