        abstract = {The evolution of multi-storey building structural systems based on new structural concepts with newly adopted high strength materials and construction methods have been towards “stiffness” and “lightness”. Recently braced structural system is adopted in buildings due to its structural efficiency and flexibility. 
To enhance the seismic performance of tall buildings, various bracing systems are employed. Braces are structural elements designed to provide additional lateral support, improving the building’s ability to withstand seismic forces. The angle and configuration of these braces can significantly impact the building's response to earthquakes.
Earthquake is the natural calamity known to mankind from many years, from the antiquated time researchers looked into numerous approaches to secure the structures. There was a need to control the damage caused by earthquake to the existing buildings. Many strengthened solid structures need retrofit to overcome inadequacies to oppose seismic loads. Bracing was the best technique which can be used to existing reinforced concrete buildings. Steel bracing is economical, simple to erect, involves less space and has adaptability to plan for meeting the required strength and stiffness. The present work deals with study of effect of steel bracings on RC framed structures.
For present study, 12 Storey Multi storey Asymmetric building having Regular Square shape with different Bracings and without Bracing structure is considered and is modeled using ETABS software for dead, live and earthquake. It is assumed that the structure lies in a zone 5 of medium soil. Linear static and Dynamic analysis is carried out and scale factor considered as per IS code in both X and Y directions. Comparison between the structures with varying Bracings and without Bracings is to be done and to compute the results. It is expected that for the Multi-storey Asymmetric system can be used for the better performance of lateral load and gravity load resistance.},
