I'm working on the RCC bracing concept to reduce the displacement. using push over analysis through Etabs V13. Do the bracing required to be assigned with hinge, if yes which book could I refer?
The bracing designed as axial loaded members like truss so by definition it should be pin-ended .... Otherwise it will absorbe and share moment based on stiffness
regarding the book .... you can refer to any design book or even the codes like A I code
best of luck
usually bracing are designed to sustain axial tension only.
Depends on actual situation of connections in your frame modelling. If they have fixed supports, no need for applying hinge at the the phases before post-elastic phases and after performing plastic hinges you may model the connections as plastic hinges, but if you have designed the joints with simple connections you may consider normal hinges in safe side.
