Muralidhar G.B, Swathi Rani K.S

Abstract: This paper introduces the comparison between lateral load resisting systems in multi storey building. Multi storey building composed of very special class of structure and therefore require special treatment. Hence to overcome the effects of seismic forces, Flat slab system in which slab rests on drop or capital which is connected to column is induced with different load resisting systems. The combined systems which is used to withstand seismic forces in this study are 1. Flat slab without lateral load resisting system, 2. Flat slab with shear wall, 3. Flat slab with infill wall, 4. Flat slab with bracings, 5. Flat slab with shear wall and bracings. ETABS software version is used to accomplish dynamic analysis and also building is investigated for nonlinear static analysis in order to identify seismic demands. From the obtained results conclusions are drawn

Keywords: Capital, Bracings, Dynamic, and Treatment etc
