Abstract In case of RCC (Reinforced cement concrete) beam, usually the function of concrete is to take the compressive stresses and when it comes to steel the role is to take up the tensile stress. But we are not considering the mixture of concrete placed below neutral axis because of its fragile nature in tension resistance. Even though steel is provided for resist the tensile stress some minute cracks will form in the tension zone concrete. After a lot of research, it is found out that this problem can be eliminated by stressing both the steel and concrete, but this should be carried out before the load application. Pre tensioning process and post tensioning process are two different ways by which we can complete internal prestressing. In the process of pre-tensioning, before the casting of concrete using moulds, the tendons have to be tensioned first in between rigid anchor blocks cast which can be done on floor, pre-tensioning bed and also in columns. In post- tensioning the tensioning of concrete is carried out after casting of concrete. To fit the tendons concrete blocks are casted by incorporating ducts. Once the concrete attained enough strength, a jack is connected members end face and thus the high-tensile wires are tensioned and anchored by wedges. Some space will be remined after this process and this can be filled by grouting. This PT beam and RC beam effect used in several storey building under seismic is studied assessed using ETABS 2017 and also the effect of bracings on the PT beam structure

I. INTRODUCTION
Earthquake resisting reinforced concrete building design is a department deals with study of earthquakes because it has started in developed countries as well as in India. The damage
can be occurred due to different factors in an earthquake. On the last centuries India had undergone so many earthquake disasters in many placed in different scales. As a matter of fact the percentage of areas that are prone to heavy earthquakes are abouve 50% . Due to the uncertainty in the calculation of earthquake time and intensity it is considered as one of the most dangerous disaster and the destruction will not be over by effecting buildings it will also lead to human lose. Countrys north east part and Himalayan regions are subjected to high magnitude earthquake such as 8.0 and as per the study the main reason for this is Indian plate movement towards European plate and the amount by which it is happening is 50mm per year. Earthquake cant be eliminated from earth but by taking proper building construction technique it can br controlled to an extent .
In Asian countries one of the most used structures in industrial and residential building is RCC structures. PT beams are not used in buildings with small span length. Around 20 years ago we were suffered by the shortage of expertise people in the fields of prestressing but however this situation has improved a lot in these years and we are available with a lot of people and workshops to done this. one of the main reasons why the prestressed beams are economical is that, while we are using prestressed beam the depth of the beam can be reduced and in the same case if it is an ordinary beam as the span increases, we have to increase the depth of beams because of its limitations in deflection in structural engineering
construction most recent and effective structure included is PSC. Currently some of the main fields that are making use of prestressed structures are buildings, towers for communication purposes, storage which is floating in nature, subterranean structures, bridge etc. there are some main aims for structural engineers. . On the basis of availability and other common factors concrete is considered as an economical material compared to steel..

Defining response spectrum
The response spectrum varies as the variations in different earthquakes, but for the ease of study IS 1893:2002 specifies a response spectrum which can be considered for all purpose nature and it is dedutced from considering for some huge earthquakes .

The maximum storey displacement is on the 14thstorey which is about 25.747219mm and the base has the minimum storey displacement that is zero
From the result above we can conclude that the PT beam has the lower displacement than the RCC beam about 12.04 %

STOREY DRIFT
Storey drift is the displacement occurred laterally in a floor with respect to the floor lying below .
Storey drift ratio= storey Drift/storey height
Fig 20 :: Drift of RC beam in x direction
The storey drift of the RC beam structure is shown in the figure. The maximum drift in x and y direction is 0.000892 and 0.00992. The maximum drift is acting between the base and first storey. The maximum drift is 0.000992 and the minimum is zero at the base
Fig 21 :: : Drift of PT beam in x direction
The storey drift of the PT beam structure is shown in the figure. The maximum drift in x and y direction is 0.000758 and 0.000778. The maximum drift is acting between the base and first storey. The maximum drift is 0.000778 and the minimum is zero at the base. From the result above we can conclude that the PT beam has the lower drift than the RCC beam about
21.57 %

STOREY STIFFNESS
-
-
The value of force required to displace building to a certain amount is called stiffness. the greater the stiffness, the greater it can resist the deformations by earthquake because stiffness limits the building deformation demand. stiffness depends upon forces and deformations
Fig 22 :: Stiffness of RC beam in x direction
The storey stiffness of the RC beam structure is given in the figure. The stiffness is maximum between base and storey 1. The maximum stiffness is about 555385 KN/m which is in x direction and in y direction it is about 460116 KN/m
Fig 23 :: Stiffness of PT beam in x direction
The storey stiffness of the PT beam structure is given in the figure. The stiffness is maximum between base and storey 1. The maximum stiffness is about 1249505 KN/m which is in x direction and in y direction it is about 1205524 KN/m
EFFECT OF BRACINGS ON DISPLACEMENT
Effect of X bracings on PT beam
Fig 24 :displacement in Y direction
Maximum displacement is 15.562856mm which is in y direction and is lower than the PT beam structure without bracings
Effect of V bracings on PT beam
Fig 25 : displacement in Y directon
maximum displacement is 16.150414mm which is in y direction and is lower than the PT beam structure without bracings
Effect of inverted V bracings on PT beam
Fig 26 : displacement in Y directon
maximum displacement is 17.355338mm which is in y direction and is lower than the PT beam structure without bracings
From the above study it is clear that the PT beam structure with X bracings have least displacement when compared to V and inverted V bracings
