• Abstract:

  This Paper Incorporates X-bracings To Greatly Increase The Seismic Resistance Of The Construction Of Both Buildings. The Structural Design Incorporates X-bracings To Assess Its Impact On Performance Under Seismic Loads. This Study Focuses On How X-bracingcan Increase Lateral Stiffness While Reducing The Building's Overall Deflection And Wobbling. This Study Compares Two G+ 15 Reinforced Concrete Buildings To Evaluate Their Seismic Performance In Different Seismic Zones. Both Buildings Are Analyzed And Designed Using Sophisticated Structural Analysis Tools. The First Building Is Located In Seismic Zone IV, Which Contributes An Area With Considerable Seismic Activity, While The Second Structure Is Located In Seismic Zone III, Which Accounts For Moderate Seismic Pressure. Using IS Codes, Seismic Analysis Is Performed For Both Structures Based On Bending Moment, Torsion, Axial Force, Base Shear, And Shear Force. Two Different Kinds Of Comparisons Are Made In This Study. First, The Same Models With Different Seismic Zones Are Compared, And Then The Same Models Are Compared Using Different Software. The Results Of The Analysis Are Compared In Order To Determine The Difference In Structural Reaction Between The Two Seismic Zones. The Comparison Demonstrates How Zone IV's High Seismic Force Produces Stronger Building Moments, Shear Forces, Axial Forces, And Torsion Than Zone III. Additionally, The Sturdy Evaluates The Performance Of X-bracing In Both Seismic Zones, Highlighting Its Significance In Reducing Structural Deformation And Improving The Overall Safety Of High-rise Structures In Seismic Zones.
