Enhanced Seismic Analysis of Braced RC High-Rise Buildings Using STAAD Pro V8i

In this project, seismic performance study of multistory reinforced concrete (RC) structures along with the bracing systems have been done through STAAD.pro V8i, a powerful software which will significantly facilitate the task of analysis. The objective of our research is assessing seismic response of braced high‐rise RC structures exposed to earthquake force. In seismic events, the buildings are considered to be braced systems to provide lateral stability and structural integrity. Using the modeling and simulation of various building configurations with different types of bracing systems, the behavior of which is being simulated under seismic loading, and set up comparison between results to determine which solution is the most efficient with regards to improving earthquake resistance.
