Earthquake induces lateral forces on the parent element of building. Columns are the primary lateral
load resisting element of building, so to reduce the effect of earthquake on building structure bracing systems
are effectively used now a days as bracing system is lateral force resisting system. The lateral forces on columns
is transmitted to braces through beam column joints axially. Bracing members descends the lateral deflection of
the building by buckling and yielding during axial compression and tension respectively. Braces can be
installed within frames in various configurations like diagonal, X, V (chevron), inverted V and K. This paper
presents a review of the previous work on seismic response control of multistory RC building using various
types of bracing system.
