Most of the reinforced concrete buildings failed due to earthquake strikes in that region. So, it is important to choose an effective lateral load resisting system. In the RCC frame, greater importance is given to making the structure safe against lateral load. To resist lateral load acting on the building different types of steel and RCC bracing systems are provided. Bracing systems have a significant effect on the performance of the structure. The use of RCC bracing has a potential advantage over other bracing like steel bracing is economical, easy to erect, occupies less space, and has the flexibility to design for meeting the required strength, stiffness, and stability. A present study aimed to evaluate the different types of bracing systems such as X, V, Inverted V, and Diagonal bracing for G+20 story reinforced concrete buildings, and provide a Base isolation system to prevent & minimize damage to building an earthquake. This technology can be used for both new structure design & seismic retrofit. On this basis prepare a model by using ETABS software. The results of the various bracing system such as X, V, Inverted V, and Diagonal bracing were compared with the bare frame, and V and Inverted V were compared with different methods on E-TAB software. The results showed that X and Inverted V braced frames are more efficient and safer at the time of the earthquake. Using X-bracing proved to be a safe method for building against collapse. Story shear is reduced after the LRB & X-bracing are provided as a base isolation system. Base shear is also reduced after providing LRB & X-bracing which makes the structure stable during earthquakes. Point displacements are increased in every story after providing LRB & X-bracing. Finally, it is concluded that after LRB & X-bracing is provided as a base isolation system it increases the structural stability against earthquakes and reduces reinforcement.
