    The document discusses diagrid structures, which are emerging as structurally efficient and architecturally significant for tall buildings. Diagrid structures gain their structural integrity through triangulation of diagonal members and can more efficiently carry lateral loads than conventional orthogonal structures like framed tubes. Key advantages of diagrid structures are increased stability due to triangulation, combining gravity and lateral load systems for efficiency, redundancy through alternate load paths, and reduced superstructure weight.

    INTRODUCTION

    Construction of multistorey building is rapidly increasing throughout the


    world
    Diagrid buildings are emerging as structurally efficient as well as
    architecturally significant assemblies for tall buildings
    Recently the diagrid structural system has been widely used for tall buildings
    due to the structural efficiency and aesthetic potential provided by the unique
    geometric configuration of the system.
    Generally, for tall building diagrid structure steel is used.

    For a very tall building, its structural design is generally governed by its
    lateral stiffness. Comparing with conventional orthogonal structures for tall
    buildings such as framed tubes, diagrid structures carry lateral wind loads
    much more efficiently by their diagonal members axial action

    The term diagrid is a combination of the words diagonal and grid and
    refers to a structural system that is singlethickness in nature and gains its
    structural integrity through the use of triangulation.
    Diagrid systems can be planar, crystalline or take on multiple curvatures,
    they often use crystalline forms or curvature to increase their stiffness.

    Perimeter diagrids normally carry the lateral and gravity loads of the
    building and are used to support the floor edges.

    Advantages of a Diagrid

    1. Increased the stability due to triangulation


    2. Combination of the gravity and lateral loadbearing systems, potentially
    providing more efficiency.
    3. Provision of alternate load paths (redundancy) in the event of a structural
    failure (which lacks in case of conventional framed building).
    4. Reduced weight of the superstructure can translate into a reduced load on
    the foundations.
