Now a day’s, increase in population and limited land availability and also advancement in construction technology, structural system, material, analysis and design facilitated the growth of high rise buildings. Due to high rise building lateral load increases with respect to height. For resistance of such a lateral load different structural systems are used. The Diagrid structural system is one of the preferred system used in tall building due to their structural efficiency and also aesthetical view for structure.
The diagrid structure consists of inclined columns on peripheral of a building which replaces closed space vertical column in framed structure. This inclined column resists the lateral load due to wind load and earthquake force. This paper is about optimizing structural performance of the diagrid structural system. This paper also includes different angle of diagrid for different module height, which compared by using storey displacement, storey drift, and time period. Also study about how diagrid structure achieved economy.
