ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF STEEL BRACING IN RC HELICAL BUILDING
Keywords:
helical, bracing, time historyAbstract
Bracing element in structural system play vital role in structure behaviour during earthquake. Braced
structures are considered to be more efficient as the number of floors and height of the building increase. Previous
studies show the effectiveness of various bracings on steel as well as concrete. But the effectiveness of various
configurations of steel bracings on irregular multi-storied helical building is not studied deeply. This study aims to
investigate the seismic performance of a helical concrete structure by providing different configurations of bracings and
performance under wind loading. Analytical model of the building is developed using structural analysis and design
software, ETABS. In this work time history is carried out on (G+19) rise concrete building with v, x, inverted v steel
bracing. So that it will reduce the lateral displacement in helical building
