The attack on the Twin Towers of America by the terrorists is an alarming situation and many researchers
have focused their attention on the analysis and design of structures subjected to blast loadings.
In this paper a G+6 storied symmetrical building analysis is done which is subjected to blast loading. A comparative
analysis is given when the structure is fitted with X Bracings, Diagonal Bracings, V bracings. The results in the form of
Storey Displacement and Storey Drift are compared for all the different cases considered. Push over analysis is carried
out for all the different cases.
