Lateral Load Resistance

Diagrid structures are exterior structures, consisting of diagonal struts and ties in the periphery and an interior core. These diagonal members carry gravity load and lateral load by the axial action of the member. Due to the structural efficiency of diagrids, interior and corner columns can be avoided thereby providing flexibility in the floor plan. The diagrid structures are emerging as popular structural system in many developed countries of the world, but in India it is yet to gain importance. This paper presents a review on the literature of diagrid structures. Studies conducted on diagrid structures to determine the diagrid angle for the efficient design is presented. The stiffness-based methodology adopted for determining preliminary member sizes of steel diagrid structures and the effect of shear lag on high rise buildings with diagrid and its comparison with framed tube structures are discussed. The distribution of the load resisted by interior frame and diagrids is outlined. The parameters used in the comparison of analysis are time period, top storey displacement, inter-storey drift and storey shear. This paper also reviews the studies on the comparison of diagrids with regular configuration and diagrids with varying angles. The analysis and comparison of diagrid and conventional structural system on the basis of consumption of steel, structural weight and displacement are also highlighted. This review covers diagrids with all the materials in practice namely concrete, steel and concrete-filled steel tube(CFST).

Lateral Load Resistance

This paper discusses a work in progress in the development of computer tools for qualitative modeling analysis and evaluation of conceptual structural designs. In the conceptual design stage the description of a structure is incomplete and imprecise, and does not permit the use of traditional numerical analysis tools. We describe a prototype system, QLRS, for qualitative evaluation of lateral load resistance in frames. The primary goal of the evaluation of structural response is to identify undesirable structural behavior. In QLRS, the evaluation process consists of three basic tasks. (1) identification of the story and structure models comprising the lateral load resisting system. We term this task structural system interpretation. (2) Qualitative analysis of the story and structure models, and approximate evaluation of the story drifts. We term this task structural behavior interpretation. (3) Assessment of the performance of the lateral load resisting system, in which the results of the structural system interpretation and the structural behavior interpretation are compared against the requirements for complete load path and relative story drift. Currently, QLRS is able to reason about load path discontinuities and soft-story behavior problems in 2-D moment resisting frames.
