Motion based seismic design and loss estimation of diagrid structures
Diagrids are becoming an increasingly popular structural system in high rise design and construction. Little research has been performed on the seismic performance of Diagrids and how it integrates with seismic loss estimation. A motion based design scheme can facilitate the seismic design of …

An analysis of diagrid structures supported by rigidly connected columns
… 1930 Dr. Stephen Szego of Hungary developed the diagrid structure. During the early years diagrid structures were of reinforced concrete. In recent years the structural continuity can be achieved by welded steel beams. The purpose of this thesis is an investigation of a plane diagrid having two …

A computational approach to the design of free form diagrid structure
… of modem architectural design of tall towers, diagrid structural systems are becoming more relevant. To deal with irregular geometries, more sophisticated computational models are necessary. This study establishes a method for integrated design of diagrid structures for complex building …

Investigation of shear lag effect in high-rise buildings with diagrid system
… A particular structural system called a diagrid system has caught the attention of the public. The diagrid system is not a new invention. The idea had been around since 1960 and few buildings have been built with the diagrid system. However, the implementation in a larger scale of such …

A comparative study on the seismic performance of concrete and steel Diagrid structures
In recent years, concrete Diagrids have been more widely used in the current Diagrid building designs, especially with mid-rise buildings. Looking through the entire portfolio of completed Diagrid structures, there are very few Diagrid tall building structures located in the area where seismic …

A comparative study : the dynamic behavior of tall buildings with diagrid and hexagrid structural systems subjected to seismic loads
… One type of tubular shell structural system, diagrids, like the one used in Hearst Tower, have gained much popularity in high-rise constructions over the past decade due to its high efficiency by resolving both gravity and lateral loads with the same elements. A new iteration of such tubular …

Dynamic interrelationship between technology and architecture in tall buildings
… characteristics and design methodology for diagrid structures, which emerge as a new direction in the design of tall buildings with their powerful structural rationale and symbolic architectural expression. Moreover, new technologies for tall building structures and facades are developed for …

Creation is a Patient Search: An Exploration of Form
This thesis began as a search, an exploration into creating a building using strong geometric forms that were defined by the structure. the thesis was tested, and retested, forgotten then restarted. every iteration through models, sketches, and drawings was a stepping stone for the final product ; …

Architecture and Drones: Accomodating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Through out history, technological advancements have reshaped the built environment and its Architecture. The cities that we live in today were only made possible by the technologies of the first, second, and third industrial revolutions. Today, we are witnessing another technological revolution …

Wind Dynamics of the Next Generation of Tall Timber Buildings
… structure thanks to its inherently stiff diagrid shell and its circular cross-section. It could easily satisfy the ISO 10137 human comfort criterion for residential occupancy in most locations at its full height of 182 metres. Taller versions of the structure are also likely to be viable. …
