ABSTRACT
Open first storey is a typical feature in
the modern multistory constructions in urban
India. Such features are highly undesirable in
buildings built in seismically active areas; this
has been verified in numerous experiences of
strong shaking during the past earthquakes.
Though multistoried buildings with open (soft)
ground floor are inherently vulnerable to
collapse due to earthquake load, their
construction is still widespread in the developing
nations like India. Social and functional need to
provide car parking space at ground level and
for offices open stories at different level of
structure far out-weighs the warning against
such buildings from engineering community.
With ground soft storey for office space open
floor is required on different levels of building. In
present thesis we are concentrating on finding
the best place for soft stories in high rise
buildings. With the availability of fast computers,
so-called performance based seismic engineering
(PBSE), where inelastic structural analysis is
combined with seismic hazard assessment to
calculate expected seismic performance of a
structure, has become increasingly feasible. With
the help of this tool, structural engineers too,
although on a computer and not in a lab, can
observe expected performance of any structure
under large forces and modify design
accordingly. PBSE usually involves nonlinear
static analysis, also known as
PUSHOVER ANALYSIS.
I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
Many urban multistory buildings in India
today have open first storey as an unavoidable
feature. This is primarily being adopted to
accommodate parking or reception lobbies in the
first stories. The upper stories have brick unfilled
wall panels. The draft Indian seismic code classifies
a soft storey as one whose lateral stiffness is less
than 50% of the storey above or below [Draft IS:
1893, 1997]. Interestingly, this classification renders
most Indian buildings, with no masonry infill walls
in the first storey, to be “buildings with soft first
storey.” Whereas the total
seismic base shear as experienced by a building
during an earthquake is dependent on its natural
period, the seismic force distribution is dependent
on the distribution of stiffness and mass along the
height. In buildings with soft first storey, the upper
storey’s being stiff undergo smaller inter-storey
drifts. However, the inter-storey drift in the soft first
storey is large. The strength demand on the columns
in the first storey is also large, as the shear in the
first storey is maximum. For the upper storey’s,
however, the forces in the columns are effectively
reduced due to the presence of the Buildings with
abrupt changes in storey stiff nesses have uneven
lateral force distribution along the height, which is
likely to locally induce stress concentration. This
has adverse effect on the performance of buildings
during ground shaking. Such buildings are required
to be analyzed by the dynamic analysis and
designed carefully.
Reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings
with masonry infill walls have been widely
constructed for commercial, industrial and multi-
family residential uses in seismic-prone regions
worldwide. Masonry infill typically consists of
brick, clay tile or concrete block walls, constructed
between columns and beams of a RC frame. These
panels are generally not considered in the design
process and treated as architectural (non-structural)
components. Nevertheless, the presence of masonry
walls has a significant impact on the seismic
response of an RC frame building, increasing
structural strength and stiffness (relative to a bare
RC frame), but, at the same time, introducing brittle
failure mechanisms associated with the wall failure
and wall-frame interaction. If the infill’s are
properly distributed throughout the structure and
properly considered in the design, then they usually
have a beneficial effect on the seismic response of
the structure. On the other hand, negative effects can
be caused by irregular positioning of the infill’s in
plan.
The most commonly used technique to
model infill panels is that of single or multiple
compressive equivalent diagonal struts The
observation of the response of building structures,
engineered or not engineered to resist major or
moderate earthquakes, after the past earthquakes
highlighted the significant contribution of the infill
in the characterization of their seismic behavior.

Infill were usually classified as non structural
elements, and their influence was neglected during
the modeling phase of the structure leading to
substantial inaccuracy in predicting the actual
seismic response of framed structures. Masonry
infill has several advantages like good sound and
heat insulation properties, high lateral strength and
stiffness. These help to increase the strength and
stiffness of RC frame and hence to decrease lateral
drift, higher energy dissipation capacity due
cracking of infill and friction between infill and
frame. This in turn increases redundancy in building
and reduces bending moment in beams and
columns. Masonry infill has disadvantages like very
high initial stiffness and compressive strength. This
also induces tensional effect in the structure if not
symmetrically placed. For a proper design of
masonry infilled reinforced concrete frames it is
necessary to completely understand their behavior
under repeated horizontal loading.
The only difference between the finished
residential and office buildings are the type of
materials used for partitions and building perimeter
wall enclosures. Residential buildings commonly
use masonry infills both internally and externally.
However, office buildings require as much open
internal space as possible due to varying tenancy
requirements. This necessitates the building system
to consist of columns with lightweight, non-
structural, easily removable internal partition walls,
and the façade walls to consist of full or part
glazing. Despite having a similar structural frame,
size and shape, office buildings exhibit much less
loss of life, damage or collapse when compared to
residential buildings of the same size. The reason
for residential buildings having significantly more
damage is because the masonry infills placed in
framed structures, due to their stiffness, causes
change in structural behavior of such structures.
The observations and analysis results reveal that the
use of masonry infill walls located in between the
columns of reinforced concrete framed structures
plays a major role in the damage and collapse of
buildings during strong earthquakes.
Thus, the structural engineering community
has developed a new generation of design and
seismic procedures that incorporate performance
based structures and is moving away from
simplified linear elastic methods and towards a more
non-linear technique. Recent interests in the
development of performance based codes for the
design or rehabilitation of buildings in seismic
active areas show that an inelastic procedure
commonly referred to as the pushover analysis is a
viable method to assess damage vulnerability of
buildings. Basically, a pushover analysis is a series
of incremental static analysis carried out to develop
a capacity curve for the building. Based on the
capacity curve, a target displacement which is an
estimate of the displacement that the design
earthquake will produce on the building is
determined. The extent of damage experienced by
the structure at this target displacement is
considered representative of the damage
experienced by the building when subjected to
design level ground shaking. Many methods were
presented to apply the nonlinear static pushover
(NSP) to structures. These methods can be listed as:
(1) Capacity Spectrum Method (CSM)
(ATC)
(2) Displacement Coefficient Method
(DCM) (FEMA-356)
(3) Modal Pushover Analysis (MPA).
The approach has been developed by many
researchers with minor variation in computation
procedure. Since the behavior of reinforced concrete
structures may be highly inelastic under seismic
loads, the global inelastic performance of RC
structures will be dominated by plastic yielding
effects and consequently the accuracy of the
pushover analysis will be influenced by the ability
of the analytical models to capture these effects. In
general, analytical models for the pushover analysis
of frame structures may be divided into two main
types: (1) distributed plasticity (plastic zone) and (2)
concentrated plasticity (plastic hinge). Although the
plastic hinge approach is simpler than the plastic
zone, this method is limited to its incapacity to
capture the more complex member behavior that
involve severe yielding under the combined actions
of compression and bi-axial bending and buckling
effects [1].
1.2 Seismic Design
RC frame building would become massive
if they were to be designed to behave elastically
without incurring damage, and hence the project
may become economically unviable. On the
contrary, the building must undergo damage
necessarily to be able to dissipate the energy input to
it during the earthquake. Thus, as per the seismic
design philosophy, (a) under occasional strong
shaking, structural damage is acceptable. Therefore,
structures are designed philosophy, (a) under
occasional strong shaking, structural damage is
acceptable, but collapse is not, and (b) under semi
occasional moderate shaking, structural damage is
limited oven though non-structural damage is not
acceptable. Therefore, structures are designed only
for a fraction of the force that they would experience
if they were designed to remain elastic during the
expected strong ground shaking and thereby
permitting damage under minor shaking refer figure
2.1 Thus, seismic design balances reduced cost and
acceptable damage, thereby making the project
viable [2]

II. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
RC frames buildings which are known to
perform poorly during strong earthquake shaking,
the presence of masonry infill wall influences the
overall behavior of the structure when subjected to
lateral forces, when masonry infill are considered to
interact with their surrounding frames the lateral
stiffness and lateral load carrying capacity of
structure largely increase. In this paper the seismic
vulnerability of building is shown with an Example
of G+20. Earthquake analysis would be carried out

III. PUSHOVER ANALYSIS
Once the target performance of a structure
has been determined by the engineer after having
met the requirements of the building and design
codes. There are different methods of analysis
which provides different degree of accuracy. Based
on the type of external action and behavior of
structure the seismic analysis methods are classified
as

Nonlinear static analysis is an improvement
over the linear static or dynamic analysis in the
sense that it allows the inelastic behavior of the
structure. The method assumes a set of static
incremental lateral load over the height of the
structure. The method is relatively simple to be
implemented, and provides information of the
strength, deformation and ductility of the structure
and the distribution of demands.
3.1 3D Pushover Analysis
In this analysis method, earthquake load is
applied on the model in an incremental basis.
Earthquake load distribution is selected for which
analysis is required. For this load distribution an
initial load step is selected 3 D static analysis is
done for this initial load step and checking for
plastic moment capacity of elements to reach. If no
element reaches plastic moment capacity, then load
applied increase and analysis is done for new load.
When in any element, plastic moment capacity is
reached, plastic hinge is introduced in that element
now. New analysis is done on this structure with
new earthquake distribution (since earthquake load
distribution will depend on structural properties.
We can also continue with same distribution of
earthquake load).and checking plastic moment
capacity in other elements. And when plastic
moment capacity is reacted, plastic hinge is
introduced in that element.
At each step, load required for each event
to occurred is noted down (event is the formation of
plastic hinge in any element) same procedure is
repeated until plastic mechanism is formed in the
entire structure that leads to collapse of structure.
Now collapse load is calculated which’s nothing but
load required for final event to occur.
3.2 Advantages of Pushover Analysis
1) It allows us to evaluate overall structural
behaviors and performance characteristics.
2) It enables us to investigate the sequential
formation of plastic hinges in the individual
structural elements constituting the entire
structure.

3) When a structure is to be strengthened
through a rehabilitation process, it allows us
to selectively reinforce only the required
members maximizing the cost efficiency
4) The pushover analysis provides good
estimate of global and local inelastic
deformation demands for structures that
vibrate primarily in the fundamental mode.
3.3 Limitations of Pushover Analysis
1) Deformation estimates obtained from a
pushover analysis may be grossly inaccurate
for structures where higher mode effects are
significant.
2) In most cases it will be necessary to perform
the analysis with displacement rather than
force control, since the target displacement
may be associated with very small positive or
even a negative lateral stiffness because of
the development of mechanisms and P-delta
effects.
3) Pushover analysis implicitly assurances that
damage is a function only of the lateral
deformation of the structure, neglecting
duration effects, number of stress reversals
and cumulative energy dissipation demand
4) The procedure does not take into account for
the progressive changes in modal properties
that take place in a structure as it experiences
cyclic non-linear yielding during earthquake.
5) Most critical is the concern that the pushover
analysis may detect only the first local
mechanism that will form in an earthquake
mechanism that will form in an earthquake
and may not expose other weakness that will
be generated when the structures dynamic
characteristics change after formation of first
local mechanism.

structural program for analysis and design of civil
structures. It offers an intuitive, yet powerful user
interface with many tools to aid in quick and
accurate construction of models, along with
sophisticated technique needed to do most complex
projects.
ETABS9 is objecting based, meaning that the
models are created with members that represent
physical reality. Results for analysis and design are
reported for the overall object, providing
information that is both easier to interprets and

5.3 Plastic Hinges Mechanism
Plastic hinge formation for ground floor soft storey and ground plus different level soft storey have
been obtained at different displacements levels. The hinging patterns are plotted in figures 5.13, 5.14 and 5.15.
From figure 5.13 it can be seen that the plastic hinges formation starts with beam ends and base columns of
lower stories, then propagates to upper stories and continue with yielding of interior intermediate columns in the
upper stories.
Comparison of the figures 5.13, 5.14 and 5.15 reveals that the patterns of plastic hinge formation for
the different level soft storey is quite different, as we shift soft storey to higher level the intensity of hinge
formation becomes lower and lower in soft storey.

Fig. 5.5 Hinges Pattern of tall Building at Different
Pushover Steps
Fig. 5.6 Hinges Pattern of tall Building with soft
stories at Different Pushover Steps
From figure 5.13 to figure 5.15 it can be seen that
as we shift the soft storey to higher level the
intensity of hinge formation becomes lower and
lower and at the same time displacement increases
and base shear also. Maximum yielding occurs at
the base storey, because of soft stories maximum
plastic hinges are forming though the base force is
increasing. As we go higher soft stories yielding is
less than ground soft storey and lower intensity
hinges are forming after maximum number of
pushover steps.
5.4 Base Shear
The maximum base shears at the base for soft
stories at different levels
Fig. 5.7 Base Shear in Ground Soft Storey
It has been observed from above graph of base
force for different level soft stories that, if we use
soft storey at ground floor base shear is more, but
as we shift the soft storey to higher level with
ground floor soft storey combination, base shear
goes on increasing and displacement also.
VI. CONCLUSION
From present analysis model in ETABS it
can be concluded that,
As we shift the soft storey to higher level the
intensity of hinge formation becomes lower and
lower and at the same time displacement increases
and base shear also.
Maximum yielding occurs at the base storey,
because of soft stories maximum plastic hinges are
forming though the base force is increasing.
As we shifted soft storey to higher level yielding is
less than lower level soft storey and lower intensity
hinges are forming after maximum number of
pushover steps.
As we shift soft storey to higher level it can be seen
from pushover and capacity spectrum curve that
Teff. goes on reducing from 1.52 Sec. for 3rd
floor
soft storey to 1.29 Sec. at 20th
floor soft storey.
Which means soft storey is safer at higher level in
high rise building
The behavior of properly detailed reinforced
concrete frame building is adequate as Indicated by
the intersection of the demand and capacity curves
and the distribution of Hinges in the beams and the
columns. Most of the hinges developed in the
beams and few in the columns.

Khan1 , Prof. M. R. Vyawahare2 1 (Department of Civil Engineering, B.N.C.O.E, Pusad 2 (Assist. Professor Department of Civil Engineering, B.N.C.O.E, Pusad ABSTRACT Open first storey is a typical feature in the modern multistory constructions in urban India. Such features are highly undesirable in buildings built in seismically active areas; this has been verified in numerous experiences of strong shaking during the past earthquakes. Though multistoried buildings with open (soft) ground floor are inherently vulnerable to collapse due to earthquake load, their construction is still widespread in the developing nations like India. Social and functional need to provide car parking space at ground level and for offices open stories at different level of structure far out-weighs the warning against such buildings from engineering community. With ground soft storey for office space open floor is required on different levels of building. In present thesis we are concentrating on finding the best place for soft stories in high rise buildings. With the availability of fast computers, so-called performance based seismic engineering (PBSE), where inelastic structural analysis is combined with seismic hazard assessment to calculate expected seismic performance of a structure, has become increasingly feasible. With the help of this tool, structural engineers too, although on a computer and not in a lab, can observe expected performance of any structure under large forces and modify design accordingly. PBSE usually involves nonlinear static analysis, also known as PUSHOVER ANALYSIS. I. INTRODUCTION 1.1 General Many urban multistory buildings in India today have open first storey as an unavoidable feature. This is primarily being adopted to accommodate parking or reception lobbies in the first stories. The upper stories have brick unfilled wall panels. The draft Indian seismic code classifies a soft storey as one whose lateral stiffness is less than 50% of the storey above or below [Draft IS: 1893, 1997]. Interestingly, this classification renders most Indian buildings, with no masonry infill walls in the first storey, to be “buildings with soft first storey.” Whereas the total seismic base shear as experienced by a building during an earthquake is dependent on its natural period, the seismic force distribution is dependent on the distribution of stiffness and mass along the height. In buildings with soft first storey, the upper storey’s being stiff undergo smaller inter-storey drifts. However, the inter-storey drift in the soft first storey is large. The strength demand on the columns in the first storey is also large, as the shear in the first storey is maximum. For the upper storey’s, however, the forces in the columns are effectively reduced due to the presence of the Buildings with abrupt changes in storey stiff nesses have uneven lateral force distribution along the height, which is likely to locally induce stress concentration. This has adverse effect on the performance of buildings during ground shaking. Such buildings are required to be analyzed by the dynamic analysis and designed carefully. Reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings with masonry infill walls have been widely constructed for commercial, industrial and multi- family residential uses in seismic-prone regions worldwide. Masonry infill typically consists of brick, clay tile or concrete block walls, constructed between columns and beams of a RC frame. These panels are generally not considered in the design process and treated as architectural (non-structural) components. Nevertheless, the presence of masonry walls has a significant impact on the seismic response of an RC frame building, increasing structural strength and stiffness (relative to a bare RC frame), but, at the same time, introducing brittle failure mechanisms associated with the wall failure and wall-frame interaction. If the infill’s are properly distributed throughout the structure and properly considered in the design, then they usually have a beneficial effect on the seismic response of the structure. On the other hand, negative effects can be caused by irregular positioning of the infill’s in plan. The most commonly used technique to model infill panels is that of single or multiple compressive equivalent diagonal struts The observation of the response of building structures, engineered or not engineered to resist major or moderate earthquakes, after the past earthquakes highlighted the significant contribution of the infill in the characterization of their seismic behavior.
  • 2. Rahiman G. Khan1 , Prof. M. R. Vyawahare / International Journal of Engineering Research and Applications (IJERA) ISSN: 2248-9622 www.ijera.com Vol. 3, Issue 4, Jul-Aug 2013, pp.176-185 177 | P a g e Infill were usually classified as non structural elements, and their influence was neglected during the modeling phase of the structure leading to substantial inaccuracy in predicting the actual seismic response of framed structures. Masonry infill has several advantages like good sound and heat insulation properties, high lateral strength and stiffness. These help to increase the strength and stiffness of RC frame and hence to decrease lateral drift, higher energy dissipation capacity due cracking of infill and friction between infill and frame. This in turn increases redundancy in building and reduces bending moment in beams and columns. Masonry infill has disadvantages like very high initial stiffness and compressive strength. This also induces tensional effect in the structure if not symmetrically placed. For a proper design of masonry infilled reinforced concrete frames it is necessary to completely understand their behavior under repeated horizontal loading. The only difference between the finished residential and office buildings are the type of materials used for partitions and building perimeter wall enclosures. Residential buildings commonly use masonry infills both internally and externally. However, office buildings require as much open internal space as possible due to varying tenancy requirements. This necessitates the building system to consist of columns with lightweight, non- structural, easily removable internal partition walls, and the façade walls to consist of full or part glazing. Despite having a similar structural frame, size and shape, office buildings exhibit much less loss of life, damage or collapse when compared to residential buildings of the same size. The reason for residential buildings having significantly more damage is because the masonry infills placed in framed structures, due to their stiffness, causes change in structural behavior of such structures. The observations and analysis results reveal that the use of masonry infill walls located in between the columns of reinforced concrete framed structures plays a major role in the damage and collapse of buildings during strong earthquakes. Thus, the structural engineering community has developed a new generation of design and seismic procedures that incorporate performance based structures and is moving away from simplified linear elastic methods and towards a more non-linear technique. Recent interests in the development of performance based codes for the design or rehabilitation of buildings in seismic active areas show that an inelastic procedure commonly referred to as the pushover analysis is a viable method to assess damage vulnerability of buildings. Basically, a pushover analysis is a series of incremental static analysis carried out to develop a capacity curve for the building. Based on the capacity curve, a target displacement which is an estimate of the displacement that the design earthquake will produce on the building is determined. The extent of damage experienced by the structure at this target displacement is considered representative of the damage experienced by the building when subjected to design level ground shaking. Many methods were presented to apply the nonlinear static pushover (NSP) to structures. These methods can be listed as: (1) Capacity Spectrum Method (CSM) (ATC) (2) Displacement Coefficient Method (DCM) (FEMA-356) (3) Modal Pushover Analysis (MPA). The approach has been developed by many researchers with minor variation in computation procedure. Since the behavior of reinforced concrete structures may be highly inelastic under seismic loads, the global inelastic performance of RC structures will be dominated by plastic yielding effects and consequently the accuracy of the pushover analysis will be influenced by the ability of the analytical models to capture these effects. In general, analytical models for the pushover analysis of frame structures may be divided into two main types: (1) distributed plasticity (plastic zone) and (2) concentrated plasticity (plastic hinge). Although the plastic hinge approach is simpler than the plastic zone, this method is limited to its incapacity to capture the more complex member behavior that involve severe yielding under the combined actions of compression and bi-axial bending and buckling effects [1]. 1.2 Seismic Design RC frame building would become massive if they were to be designed to behave elastically without incurring damage, and hence the project may become economically unviable. On the contrary, the building must undergo damage necessarily to be able to dissipate the energy input to it during the earthquake. Thus, as per the seismic design philosophy, (a) under occasional strong shaking, structural damage is acceptable. Therefore, structures are designed philosophy, (a) under occasional strong shaking, structural damage is acceptable, but collapse is not, and (b) under semi occasional moderate shaking, structural damage is limited oven though non-structural damage is not acceptable. Therefore, structures are designed only for a fraction of the force that they would experience if they were designed to remain elastic during the expected strong ground shaking and thereby permitting damage under minor shaking refer figure 2.1 Thus, seismic design balances reduced cost and acceptable damage, thereby making the project viable [2]

PUSHOVER ANALYSIS Once the target performance of a structure has been determined by the engineer after having met the requirements of the building and design codes. There are different methods of analysis which provides different degree of accuracy. Based on the type of external action and behavior of structure the seismic analysis methods are classified as Table 1.1: Types of analysis methods Static Dynamic Linear Nonlinear Linear Nonlinear Seismic coefficient method Pushover analysis method Response spectrum method Time history method Nonlinear static analysis is an improvement over the linear static or dynamic analysis in the sense that it allows the inelastic behavior of the structure. The method assumes a set of static incremental lateral load over the height of the structure. The method is relatively simple to be implemented, and provides information of the strength, deformation and ductility of the structure and the distribution of demands. 3.1 3D Pushover Analysis In this analysis method, earthquake load is applied on the model in an incremental basis. Earthquake load distribution is selected for which analysis is required. For this load distribution an initial load step is selected 3 D static analysis is done for this initial load step and checking for plastic moment capacity of elements to reach. If no element reaches plastic moment capacity, then load applied increase and analysis is done for new load. When in any element, plastic moment capacity is reached, plastic hinge is introduced in that element now. New analysis is done on this structure with new earthquake distribution (since earthquake load distribution will depend on structural properties. We can also continue with same distribution of earthquake load).and checking plastic moment capacity in other elements. And when plastic moment capacity is reacted, plastic hinge is introduced in that element. At each step, load required for each event to occurred is noted down (event is the formation of plastic hinge in any element) same procedure is repeated until plastic mechanism is formed in the entire structure that leads to collapse of structure. Now collapse load is calculated which’s nothing but load required for final event to occur. 3.2 Advantages of Pushover Analysis 1) It allows us to evaluate overall structural behaviors and performance characteristics. 2) It enables us to investigate the sequential formation of plastic hinges in the individual structural elements constituting the entire structure.

The hinging patterns are plotted in figures 5.13, 5.14 and 5.15. From figure 5.13 it can be seen that the plastic hinges formation starts with beam ends and base columns of lower stories, then propagates to upper stories and continue with yielding of interior intermediate columns in the upper stories. Comparison of the figures 5.13, 5.14 and 5.15 reveals that the patterns of plastic hinge formation for the different level soft storey is quite different, as we shift soft storey to higher level the intensity of hinge formation becomes lower and lower in soft storey.

Maximum yielding occurs at the base storey, because of soft stories maximum plastic hinges are forming though the base force is increasing. As we go higher soft stories yielding is less than ground soft storey and lower intensity hinges are forming after maximum number of pushover steps. 5.4 Base Shear The maximum base shears at the base for soft stories at different levels Fig. 5.7 Base Shear in Ground Soft Storey It has been observed from above graph of base force for different level soft stories that, if we use soft storey at ground floor base shear is more, but as we shift the soft storey to higher level with ground floor soft storey combination, base shear goes on increasing and displacement also. VI. CONCLUSION From present analysis model in ETABS it can be concluded that, As we shift the soft storey to higher level the intensity of hinge formation becomes lower and lower and at the same time displacement increases and base shear also. Maximum yielding occurs at the base storey, because of soft stories maximum plastic hinges are forming though the base force is increasing. As we shifted soft storey to higher level yielding is less than lower level soft storey and lower intensity hinges are forming after maximum number of pushover steps. As we shift soft storey to higher level it can be seen from pushover and capacity spectrum curve that Teff. goes on reducing from 1.52 Sec. for 3rd floor soft storey to 1.29 Sec. at 20th floor soft storey. Which means soft storey is safer at higher level in high rise building The behavior of properly detailed reinforced concrete frame building is adequate as Indicated by the intersection of the demand and capacity curves and the distribution of Hinges in the beams and the columns. Most of the hinges developed in the beams and few in the columns. 0 50 100 150 200 250 0 4 8 12 16 20 Displacement(mm) Pushover Steps Displacement (mm) Without Bracing Displacement (mm) X- Bracing
