Abstract
Abstract Diagrid structures are popular among engineers and architects. The reason for this is its structural efficiency due to carrying both lateral loads and gravity loads and aesthetic attributes. Recent research has shown that using variable angle diagrids for a structure can be more efficient than using diagrid structures with constant angle of inclination. This paper provides an analysis of different configurations of the variable angle diagrid structures. For this purpose, the parameters of variable angle diagrid structures such as angle of inclination of diagrids and the ratio of heights for which angle of inclination of diagrids are varied to study its effect on the structure. Different patterns of variable angle diagrid structures are generated for a 60 storied building which are modelled and analysed in ETABS under gravity and wind loads. The optimum configuration is selected from these diagrid configurations based on the structural weights of diagrids and performances of the building.
