Seismic Performance of Bracing, Diagrid and Outrigger System

In this paper bracing, diagrid and outrigger system have been analyzed for comparing the seismic performance of multistorey buildings. Bracing system is a very efficient system which can be used as a lateral load resisting system in concrete and steel buildings, in this system lateral loads are transferred through lateral bracing by undergoing in tension and compression .diagrid is another effective and efficient system that can be used as lateral load resisting system in steel and concrete tall buildings, in this system lateral loads are transferred by inclined members of the building. Another very effective system which commonly used for resisting lateral loads in concrete and steel high rise building is outrigger system, in this system lateral loads will be resisted by outrigger belt truss and core shear wall. Location and number of outrigger and type of bracing is very important which needs to be optimized in this system. In this paper comparison of bracing, diagrid and outrigger system have been studied on a 24 storey by using a standard package of ETABS 2017.
