One of the technologies used to defend buildings from damaging earthquake effects is “Braced Structural System”. The idea behind bracing is to resist the building from the seismic forces in such a way that earthquake motions are not transmitted up through the building, or at least greatly reduced. And also balance the force acting by the wind load. The work undertaken is an attempt to recognize the behaviour of “X” type RCC bracing system and Steel bracing system under lateral loading. A model of G+14 story RCC building has been considered with “X” type RCC and Steel bracing. The RCC building with “X” type RCC and Steel braced system is analysed using static, wind load analysis. The present study will carry out the comparison of different parameters like; storey displacement, storey drift, base shear and cost using commonly available, widely used software STAAD Pro V8i is utilize for analysis.
