Abstract : steel braced frame is one of the structural systems used to resist earthquake loads in multistoried buildings. Many
existing reinforced concrete buildings need retrofit to overcome deficiencies to resist seismic loads. The use of steel bracing
systems for strengthening or retrofitting seismically inadequate reinforced concrete frames is a viable solution for enhancing
earthquake resistance. Steel bracing is economical, easy to erect, occupies less space and has flexibility to design for meeting
the required strength and stiffness. In the present study, the seismic study of conventional x brace, zipper brace and SBS in
composite structures using ETABS software is investigated. The bracing is provided at each corner. a G+6, G+12 and G+18
story with 6 bay in x direction and 3 bay in y direction is analyzed using ETABS.. The effectiveness of various types of steel
bracing is examined. The effect of the distribution of the steel bracing along the height of the composite structure on the
seismic performance of the rehabilitated building is studied. Provision of conventional x braced, zipper braced and SBS is
provided in each stories. The percentage reduction in lateral displacement is found out. It is found that the zipper of steel
bracing significantly contributes to the reduction in displacement and SBS contributes in the reduction of story shear
compared to conventional x bracings.

1 INTRODUCTION
Steel framed construction is a new concept in which Lateral loads are better resisted by bracings. Buckling in braces can be
restrained by ZIPPER AND STRONG BACK SYSTEM(SBS). The main advantages of braces are higher strength, Stiffness,
economy, occupies less space and less weight. Steel bracing is a highly efficient and economical method of resisting horizontal
forces in a frame structure. A bracing system improves the seismic performance of the frame by increasing its lateral stiffness
and capacity.
• Through the addition of the bracing system, load could be transferred out of the frame and into the braces, bypassing
the weak columns while increasing strength. Steel bracing is a highly efficient and economical method of resisting
horizontal forces in a frame structure.

Static and dynamic analysis is done using ETABS 2016 software.

Table 1: G+6 storey composite structures
4.CONCLUSIONS
 The double spring SBS bracing with increased stiffness were found to be excellent seismic control device for
controlling forced responses such as base shear, roof displacement and storey drift for lower rise, medium rise and
high rise steel structures.
 Base shear decreased in double spring SBS up to 47.85% compared to zipper braced.
 Roof displacement in zipper braced decreased up to 20.9% compared to X braced
 Value of drift as per IS 1893:2002 should not be greater than 0.004 times the storey height which is within the limit.
 Roof displacement in double spring SBS is higher compared to zipper brace, hence soft storey mechanism is produced.
 As the stiffness is increased , soft storey effect is minimized and also the displacement is reduced.
 Roof displacement in double spring SBS decreased up to 95% when compared to structure without bracings.
 As moving from lower rise structure to high rise structure, maximum roof displacement is reduced in case of double
spring SBS bracings. So for high rise structures(G+18), it is better to provide these bracings.
 As moving from lower rise structure to high rise structure, maximum roof displacement is increased in case of zipper
braced . So for lower rise(G+6) structures, it is better to provide these bracings.
 As moving from lower rise structure to high rise structure, maximum base shear is decreased in all case of braced
stuctures .
 So it is better option for providing SBS with double spring bracings to high rise buildings for steel structures.
