Summary

The horizontal displacement caused by the lateral loads on high-rise buildings is a major problem. The stiffness provided by shear-walls or steel braces can be taken into account in order to overcome this displacement problem. In other words, shear-walls or steel braces might be used to keep the lateral displacements within the allowable limits. Shear walls in reinforced concrete buildings and bracing in steel structures are usually used for this purpose. However, in the study, reported in this paper, it has been intended to use a mixed structural system consisting of reinforced concrete columns and steel braces. It will play a very important role especially when the existing structures are planned to be strengthened. It has been thought that instead of using the shear walls for strengthening the existing buildings using the steel braces will be more economical and more appropriate. Reinforced concrete shear walls and steel braced members are examined in resisting the horizontal loads. With the calculations made on RC structure models, advantages and disadvantages of using steel braces for strengthening the existing reinforced concrete structures are presented.
