Abstract: This paper presents comparative study on K and V-inverted bracings in steel irregular-shaped building. In this study, computer-aided analysis and design of superstructure for this building is carried out by using ETABS software. The building is a fifteen-storeyed L-shaped steel building. It is composed of special moment resisting frame (SMRF) in seismic zone 4. Dead loads, superimposed dead loads, live loads, wind loads and earthquake loads are considered based on UBC-97. All structural members are designed according to AISC-LRFD Wide flange W-sections are used for frame members. Structural steel used in building is A572 Grade 50 steel. Structural stability checking (overturning moment, sliding, storey drift, torsional irregularity and P- effect) are carried out for the stability of the superstructure. After checking the stability, the proposed building is analyzed with dynamic response spectrum case. Suitable bracing types such as K-type bracings and V-inverted bracings are used in this case. In this paper, storey drift, storey shear and storey moment of model A and model B in dynamic response spectrum case are compared. Keywords: AISC-LRFD 1999, ETABS Software, UBC-97. I. INTRODUCTION Our country is a developing country in Southeast Asia. It is populated more and more and so many high-rise buildings are needed to be constructed. Steel frame has many advantages and so steel frame is a suitable choice for highrise building. In this study, the proposed building is selected as a steel frame structure. High-rise buildings are more affected by lateral forces than low-rise buildings especially in seismic zone 4. For this lateral stability and stiffness, steel frames are constructed with bracings. So, using braced frames is safer than other systems. The proposed building is located in seismic zone 4. In this study, the proposed building is constructed with braced frames for dynamic response spectrum analysis. It is expected to construct more and more steel braced frames in the future. II.

Loading Consideration The applied loads in this study are gravity loads that include dead and live loads, superimposed dead loads, lateral loads that include wind and earthquake loads. Design load combinations are also used. 1. Gravity Load All mass are attracted toward the center of the earth by the gravitational force. Loads are defined as these attracting forces acting upon their corresponding masses. There are two different gravity loads: (i) Dead loads and (ii) Live loads.

The maximum storey moment of model B in Y-direction is 99% more than that of model A. Figure 9. Comparison of storey shear in X direction. VII. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION In this study, the proposed building is analyzed and designed for the superstructure. The design of superstructure for wind speed 80 mph was done. The structure is located in seismic zone-4 and static procedure was analyzed according to UBC- 97. The stability checkings such as P- Δ effect, story drift, overturning moment and sliding were also checked in the design calculation. K-type bracings and V-inverted bracings are used for lateral stability in response spectrum case. It is found that there is an upward trend in storey shear from SR(stair roof ) to GL(ground level). There is also an upward trend in storey moment from SR(stair roof) to GL(ground level). Thus, maximum storey shear and storey moment can be occurred at GL(ground level). According to figure 7, 8, 9 and 10 the maximum storey drift and the maximum storey shear can be occurred in X-direction.

7 Comparative Study on K and V-Inverted Bracings in Steel Irregular-Shaped Building According to figure 11 and 12, the maximum storey moment can be found in Y-direction. Storey drift, storey shear and storey moment in model A are less than those of model B. Column sections of model A are less than those of model B. So, K bracing is a more suitable choice than V-inverted bracing for proposed building. VIII.
