Comparative Study and Analysis of Conventional and Diagrid Building in Seismic Loading

Abstract

It is necessary to understand the seismic behavior of buildings of the same design under different earthquake intensities. To determine the seismic response, it is necessary to perform a seismic analysis of the structure using various methods available. The complex geometry of buildings, together with the high value of land, underlines the need to consider architectural concepts and structural concepts side by side. Lateral load resistance is more important than gravity load resistance as the building height increases. There are various lateral load resisting systems, such as moment frame systems, braced frame systems, shear wall systems, and tubular shaped advanced structural systems. Diagrid is another recent invention in this area, which is a modification of the tubular system. Diagrid is the best choice when tubular systems do not meet requirements, especially in complex geometries. In this work, diagrid and tubular structures are compared to study the structural efficiency of both types of structures. ETABS covers all aspects of the engineering design process. In the current scenario of the real estate industry, prefabricated structures are important; Generally, those that achieve the most effective results are advanced elements like beams and columns in multi-storied R.C buildings. This software is mainly used for tall buildings, structures like concrete and steel. The aim of this paper is to investigate the high-level (G+10) structure of the Earth considering seismic, dead and live loads.
