Abstract: Among all the natural hazard, earthquake is one of the most dangerous. For safety of the buildings, it is essential that structures should have adequate lateral stability, strength, and sufficient ductility. There are various types of lateral load resistance structural systems for reducing the affect of earthquake forces for RC buildings. For my study I consider the RC moment resisting bare frame and RC moment resisting frame with steel bracing system and RC moment resisting frame with shear wall system. In case of steel bracing system three types of bracing used as X type, V type and inverted V type bracing. In case of shear wall I take three locations of shear wall which are more effective. Three different heights of building as low rise, medium rise and high rise are taken. Effect of brick infill walls is also considered. For analysis of these building frames Staad ProV8i software used. The performance of building is evaluated on the basis of following parameters – Bending moment, Shear force, Storey displacement, Storey drift, Base shear.
