Abstract
The progression of innovation and advancement of economy of the world have brought new period of tall structures. Different types of structural systems pose challenges which are being faced by the structural engineers and architects in terms of innovation in structural system. Hexagrid is one among them. This system is adopted in tall buildings due to their structural efficiency and architectural potentials. Hexagrid encloses intersection of diagonal and horizontal or vertical members. This system is very similar to that of diagrid system and is configured by locating hexagons along the periphery of the building. This study aims to compare between hexagrid structural systems with different patterns and to find the optimal pattern which resists the lateral loads in hexagrid structural system. The use of hexagrids in a skyscraper is a relatively new idea. As such, more is yet to be explored in such a system.
