BRACED FRAME STRUCTURAL SYSTEM TYPES OF BRACING USED IN THE STRUCTURE

A braced frame is a structural system commonly used in structures subject to lateral loads such as wind and seismic pressure. The 
members in a braced frame are generally made of structural steel, which can work effectively both in tension and compression.
