The current study specializes in the have a look at of the structural overall performance of metallic constructing with different bracing systems. The effectiveness of diverse varieties of bracing system has also been investigated. For this study at, a 10 storied frame structure has been analyzed and designed due to lateral loading. The structural performance of the RC frame building has been investigated the use of exclusive kinds of bracing system which includes X bracing, Inverted V-type bracing, K Bracing and single Diagonal bracing. A comparative analysis has been performed on lateral displacement, moments on beam between braced, story drift and un-braced structures at dissimilar floor stage. From the analysis it has been found that lateral displacement of bracing framed structure will be reduced as compare to RC-frame structure and also observed that X-Bracing system is more effective as compare to other bracing systems. X-Bracing frame structure is reduced by 35% displacement which is the largest one and as a consequence extensively contributes to extra structural stiffness. Finally, it can be stated that X-diagonally braced structure suggests higher structural overall performance amongst all the structures taken into consideration right here under comparable circumstances. Inclusion of bracing systems in the structure is more resilient in the event of the earthquake. At times it is also the cost effective solution for the earthquake resistant design of structures.
