Paper Details

The development of new structural concepts for the evolution of tall building structural systems have beentowards stiffness and lightness. The structural systems have become further lighter and safer. Structural systems aremore efficient now and this is significantly influenced by its geometrical configuration. Therefore, after selection ofappropriate structural system it should be configured properly to increase the structural efficiency. It is also wiser toreduce the forces and dissipate the magnitude of vibrations rather than directly standing them. one of the main governingcriteria for structural design of high rise structure is lateral loads which are due to wind and earthquake. The resistancetowards lateral load is provided by interior structural systems and exterior structural systems. From the many structuralsystems, available for tall building the diagonalized grid structure have emerged more effective as the primary structuralmembers carry lateral loads by axial action. the structural effectiveness is increased as the primary structural member islocated on the perimeter of the building. A review paper is presented discussing the effectiveness of diagrid structuralsystem having different story heights, variable diagrid angles, variable density diagrid system. Optimum diagrid anglerange is discussed and depicted that variable angle pattern is better than regular diagrid pattern and regular diagridangle is better than regular frame structure. Lastly, analysis result like displacements, story drift and story shear of asimple frame and diagrid structural system are compared.
