Abstract:
Braced Frame is one of the structural systems which helps the building to sustain against the lateral loads. In moment resisting frame different types of bracing arrangements (like single diagonal, cross, inverted V, eccentric etc.) are introduced to resist the lateral loads. Due to this structural system, the stiffness of the building is increasing greatly. Also brace members reduce the shear force and bending moment in beams and columns. Braced frame structural system also helps in reducing the section size of beams and columns.
In this project one bay – one story bare frames will be fabricated from steel material. Two types of brace arrangements will be used like single diagonal and cross bracing. One frame will be fabricated without brace members and three frames will be fabricated with brace members. Angle section will be used as brace members. For beams and columns of frame, ISMB section will be used. For using appropriate ISMB and angle section, bare frame and brace frame will be designed for lateral load. After fabrication of all frames, they will be tested under the effect of lateral load.
