Parametric Study of Various Bracing Systems in Steel Structures

This study is basically concentrated on use of bracings in steel buildings. Here many parameters like bending moment, axial force, joint displacement, utility ratio etc. will be assessed under lateral loads generated from earthquake particularly. Bracings are to be placed in variety of mode in the typical frame, and from them attempt is to be made to find best bracing configuration considering minimum possible weight. The study is carried out on computer software SAP 2000. Citation: Mehul J. Bhavsar, SSASIT, Surat; Kavita Choksi ,; Digant Pastagia ,.
