| Summary: | This study focused on the comparing the lateral stiffness of several frames provided by
concentrically braced frames ( inverted V bracing system and X bracing system using
available softwares in the market. This study is limited to a rigid frame connection only,
performing two dimensional analysis, having uniform sections and isotropic materials.
At the end of this study, the results finally conclude the effectiveness of the bracing
system ( inverted V bracing system and X bracing system ), lateral stiffness of the
analysed frames, production of regression analysis equation to predict the displacement
for specified section and range of size.
