Abstract

This chapter delves into the dynamic analysis of reinforced concrete buildings subjected to earthquake loads, focusing on the nonlinear behavior of infill structures. It explores the use of response spectrum analysis as per IS: 1893–2016 to evaluate the maximum responses of structures under seismic ground motion. The study examines various bracing configurations, including diagonal, cross (X), and inverted V-bracings, and their effectiveness in enhancing seismic resistance. Key findings reveal that diagonal bracings at front and back locations exhibit the highest storey shear, indicating superior performance in withstanding seismic forces. Additionally, the analysis highlights the importance of frequency and participation percentage in determining structural stability. The chapter provides a detailed comparison of different bracing systems, offering insights into their impact on storey shear, beam forces, and mode shapes. This comprehensive analysis serves as a guide for optimizing the design of reinforced concrete buildings in seismically active regions.
