One of the lateral load opposing frameworks in multi-storey structures is Steel brace frame. The resistance of the structure which enhances against horizontal forces by expanding its stiffness and stability is Steel bracing system in RC multi-storey building is conservative, simple to set up, involve less space and give obliged quality and inflexibility. Flat slab reinforced buildings have exhibit many dominances over conventional type of beam column building. However, the effectiveness of structure in flat slab construction is inferior in performance under earthquake loading. Flat slab requires the simple formwork which usually result in an economical construction. In present study, a G+9 storey building is analysed for seismic zone IV as per IS 1893: 2002 using ETABS software. Flat slab is used by providing drop panels and peripheral beam. For all models parameters are kept constant. The effect of the distribution of the steel bracing along with the flat slab RC frame on the seismic performance of the building is studied. The performance of the building is evaluated in terms of storey displacement, storey shear, story drifts and slab stresses. The percentage reduction in lateral displacement along X direction is tabulated. By providing drop panels the slab stress is reduced on structure compared to RC bare frame. Hence it is concluded that the use of steel bracing with flat slab in construction resists the lateral forces for many vulnerable conditions.
