SMRF and OMRF frames are been used along with and without concentric and eccentric braces to compare the base shear capacity and ductility of buildings. SMRF frames are commonly used as it is used in highly seismic zones instead of OMRF. The response reduction factor R is evaluated for buildings with and without bracings provided in buildings. The performance of framed structure has been evaluated using pushover analysis. To achieve this objective; G+10, G+ 20 structures OMRF and SMRF, with and without bracings are carried out in ETABS 2016, and from the capacity curve, the R value is to be obtained by studying the parameters such as over strength and ductility reduction factor.
