Seismic Comparison of Diagrid and X-Bracing System in Highrise Building

Abstract

Abstract: The diagrid (diagonal grid) structural design is one of the fascinating structural design ideas for sturdy tall constructions. Diagrid, a new design style for tall, intricate structures, has emerged due to its aesthetic appeal and structural effectiveness. Diagrid's façade structural system resists both lateral loads and gravity loads by utilizing a small grid of diagonal components. As it uses less structural steel than a conventional steel frame, making the structure more environmentally friendly. This study makes use of ETABS to assess tall structures built of Diagrid steel and tall structures using different bracing techniques. Being thin makes high-rise structures extremely vulnerable to lateral forces, thus they must be constructed to provide safety and comfort in accordancewith user needs. In order to combat the lateral stresses that are most common in high-rise structures, diagrid and X-bracing systems have been created. In this study, the seismic behaviors of diagrid and X-braced systems are compared.
