description

One of the evocative structural design solutions for sustainable tall buildings is embraced by the diagrid (diagonal grid) structural scheme. Diagrid, with a perimeter structural configuration characterized by a narrow grid of diagonal members involved both in gravity and in lateral load resistance, has emerged as a new design trend for tall-shaped complex structures, and is becoming increasingly popular due to aesthetics and structural performance. Since it requires less structural steel than a conventional steel frame, it provides for a more sustainable structure. This study focuses on the structural performance of a steel tall building, using FEM nonlinear analyses. Numerical comparisons between a traditional outrigger system and different diagrid configurations (with three different diagrid inclinations) are presented for a building of 40 stories, with a total height of 160m, and a footprint of 36m x 36m. The sustainability of the building (in terms of structural steel weight saving) is assessed, together with the structural behavior.

CONCLUSIONS

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

Considering the impact the construction industry has on the environment, it is very

important to investigate sustainable solutions

CONCLUSIONS

Diagrid structures allow a considerable saving of material compared to more

traditional structural schemes such as outrigger structures and guarantee a better

performance in terms of strenght, stiffness and ductility.

Among the diagrid structures considered the one with the best overall behavior results

to be the one with 60° diagonal element inclination

LIMITATIONS

Dynamic analyses should be performed in the future for both the serviceability and safety assessment, considering more appropriate loading scenarios.

The defined performance equation is calibrated with specific coefficient values that

highlight the sustainability aspect.
