The evolution of tall building structural systems based on new structural concepts with newly adopted high
strength materials and construction methods have been towards “stiffness” and “lightness”. Recently diagrid structural
system is adopted in tall buildings due to its structural efficiency and flexibility in architectural planning. The use of
diagrid structural systems for tall building design has continued to increase. This paper extends the previous studies on
diagrids by further investigating more efficient diagrid configurations which require less amount of structural material
to meet design requirements. Today, sustainable design to save our limited resources is one of the most important
building design issues, especially for tall buildings constructed with an ab undant amount of resources. Diagrid
structures of various varying angle configurations are studied to determine more efficient geometric configurations of the
system.
