Abstract

The large-scale urbanization in the country and shortage of land in urban areas for accommodating the vast population migrating thereto is being addressed through vertical developments in the form of tall buildings. Tall buildings are generally governed by lateral load, so the selection of an appropriate lateral load resisting system is of much importance. One of the efficient lateral load resisting systems is the tube system. Diagrid and Hexagrid are a form of the tube system. In this research a comparative study is carried out between frame Structure, diagrid, horizontal hexagrid, and vertical Hexagrid to resist lateral load along with the gravity load by varying various parameters. Around 120 models were analyzed in ETABS software with different parameters like Module height, module angle, Building Height, Soil type, and Column location. Seismic load are applied as per Indian code. The results are compared in terms of Base Shear, Storey drift, Storey displacement, and Time period.
