Abstract
Grid-pattern framing of tubular structures for tall buildings is becoming popular because of its aesthetic appeal. The recently developed hexagrid pattern constitutes an innovative shape from both architectural and structural perspectives. This study investigated the characteristics of tall hexagrid tubular buildings, focusing on the size and pattern of the hexagrid modules, and proposed a sizing formula based on stiffness-design criteria of members in the preliminary design stage. An analysis of 60-story buildings revealed findings that are worthy of consideration in the preliminary design stage.
