scholarly journals Analog Search of Different Lateral Load Resisting System for High Rise Building

As the rate of growth of population is increasing day by day, the requirement of land is increasing for different purposes. To accommodate this increased population, the height of building is increasing thereby subsequently increasing the importance of lateral load resisting system which provide adequate strength against lateral loading arising due to earthquake and wind. In present study various lateral load resisting system have been introduced which can resist the lateral forces and safely transfer them to soil thereby improving the strength and stiffness of column structures. The lateral load resisting systems that are widely used are conventional beam column system, shear wall system, tube system, outrigger system, tubular system etc. Diagrid structural system is generally adopted in tall buildings due to its structural efficiency and flexibility in planning. Compared to closely space vertical columns in Conventional Beam column system, diagrid structure consists of inclined columns on the exterior surface of building. The concrete diagrids member is used in both precast and cast in-situ type. An exhaustive study has been performed on the performance of 20 storey RCC building with plan size 18 m × 18 m using E-TAB software. All structural members are designed as per IS 456:2000 and all the load combinations of seismic forces are considered as per IS 1893(Part 1): 2002. Finally, Parameter such as storey displacement, storey stiffness and time period are compared and obtained results were presented in both graphically and tabular format

Urbanization and population explosion in the present times has led to increase in demand for land and residencies but the availability of land is scare i.e reason a trend has evolved for construction of high rise structures in high rise structures major emphasis given to lateral load resisting systems. As diagrid structural system is lighter, stiffer and is effective in resisting the lateral loads, the present investigation carried out to study the performance diagrid on high rise structures varying aspect ratio. The study is carried out to observe the performance of diagrid structures ranging from 30 to 90 storeys. Diagrid structures are modelled with 3 storey module and performance of 7 models with different storeys i.e 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 (aspect ratio 3.67-10.86) and with fixed plan area. As a part 1 investigation to optimise the diagrid angle a 30 storey Diagrid structure performance is studied with 4 different diagrid angles one storey module angle 35°45’, Two storey module angle 55°13’, Three storey module 65°9’, Four storey module 70°51’. The optimized diagrid angle is used for different aspect ratio high rise structures to investigate the performance in terms of Storey displacement, Storey drift ratio, base shear and time period. For all the models plan area is fixed. Second part of investigation was a numerical study carried out by utilizing identified optimum angle of diagrid is applied on high rise buildings with aspect ratios 3.67, 4.86, 6.06, 7.26, 8.46, 9.67, 10.86 (Aspect ratio is the total height of the building to the width of the building). Behaviour of the Diagrid buildings due to change in aspect ratio is analysed based on parameters such as Storey displacements, Storey drift ratio, Base shear, Time period. As a part of investigation parameters such as Storey displacements and storey drift ratio were evaluated if they were within the limits as per IS code provisions.

For super high-rise buildings, the analysis and selection of suitable structural solutions are very important. The structure has not only to carry the gravity loads (self-weight, live load, etc.), but also to resist lateral loads (wind and earthquake loads). As the buildings become taller, the demand on different structural systems dramatically increases. The article considers the division of the structural systems of tall buildings into two main categories - interior structures for which the major part of the lateral load resisting system is located within the interior of the building, and exterior structures for which the major part of the lateral load resisting system is located at the building perimeter. The basic types of each of the main structural categories are described. In particular, the framed tube structures, which belong to the second main category of exterior structures, seem to be very efficient. That type of structure system allows tall buildings resist the lateral loads. However, those tube systems are affected by shear lag effect - a nonlinear distribution of stresses across the sides of the section, which is commonly found in box girders under lateral loads. Based on a numerical example, some general conclusions for the influence of the shear-lag effect on frequencies, periods, distribution and variation of the magnitude of the internal forces in the structure are presented.

Diagrid structures are evolved as one of the best structural system for high rise buildings. In this study seismic performance of 36 stories Tube-in-Tube Diagrid Structure with various diagonal slopes is evaluated by Non Linear Static Analysis. Tube-in-Tube diagrid structures are modified Diagrid structures in which gravity core is replaced with Diagrid core. Single tube diagrid structure is also studied for comparison. The structure is pushed gradually proportional to fundamental Mode shape. The analysis results shows that Tube-in-Tube structure possess higher stiffness and Lateral Load resisting capacity. The pushover analysis demonstrates that diagrid core can perform better by hardening the structure. According to analysis results, the Tube-in-Tube diagrid structure shows higher non-linear lateral displacement. It was observed that as the diagrid angle increases the stiffness and lateral load carrying strength decreases.

Structural design of high rise buildings is governed by lateral loads due to wind or earthquake. As the height of building increases, the lateral load resisting system becomes more important than the structural system that resists the gravitational loads. Recently, diagrid structural system are widely used for tall buildings due to its structural efficiency and flexibility in architectural planning. Diagrid structural system is made around the perimeter of building in the form of a triangulated truss system by intersecting the diagonal and horizontal members. Diagonal members in diagrid structural systems can carry gravity loads as well as lateral loads. Lateral loads are resisted by axial action of the diagonals compared to bending of vertical columns in framed tube structure. The structural efficiency of diagrid system also helps in avoiding interior and corner columns, thereby allowing significant flexibility with the floor plan. In this paper, effect of lateral loads on steel diagrid buildings are studied. Square and rectangular buildings of same plan area with diagrid structural system is considered for the study. Diagrid modules extending upto 2,4,6,8 and 12 storeys are evaluated. Static analysis for the gravity loads, wind and earthquake and response spectrum analysis are carried out for these different combinations of plan shape and diagrid modules and performance of all these diagrid models i.e., storey displacement, storey drift and modal time period are evaluated and compared in this study.


It is a big challenge that the tall buildings must withstand the various forces acting from different directions and aspects such as seismic and wind forces while designing the tall structures it is mandatory to deeply understand the seismic and wind behaviour of multi-storeyed buildings. In this study we are concerned to determine and analyse the seismic and wind behaviour of high-rise buildings some of which were regular and other had irregularities in them in their plan and elevations. Three G+30 storied buildings were considered which were situated in seismic Zone-V and analysis were carried out using response spectrum method as per IS 1893- 2016 on ETABS software. Each building is subjected to wind load at different terrain categories to examine its effects at different slopes as per IS 875 Part 3 2015.Various parameters like Auto lateral load, maximum storey displacement, maximum storey drift, overturning moment, storey shear and time period were considered in this study. It is concluded that vertical irregular building in terrain category-4 with ground slope less than 3 degree’s provides greater resistance against both seismic and wind loading among all buildings.


Earthquake is an unexpected and expensive disaster for both livelihood and economy. In the modern day construction there has been a lot of importance to make the structure resistive against the laterally acting loads. Bracings are an option for lateral load resisting system in tall buildings. The concept of bracings is to add more stiffness and strength to the adequate strength of the structure. Members in a braced frame are generally made of structural steel which can work effectively both in strain and pressure. In the present work 13 story irregular building is considered with and without bracings to evaluate the optimum bracing pattern for the structure. By changing the position of the bracings alternately in both horizontal and vertical direction the analysis is carried out. These are the different models analyzed by pushover analysis (a) Building with no bracing, (b) Building with alternate vertical bracing starting from bay-1, (c) Building with alternate vertical bracing starting from bay-2, (d) Building with alternate vertical bracing starting from story-1, (e) Building with alternate vertical bracing starting from story-1. The non linear static results were compared. The various parameters like story drift, shear, time period, stiffness, moment, torsion, performance points are obtained by the analysis for all the models.

Diagrid system, which is the portmanteau of diagonal grid member, is an exterior lateral load resisting system for tall building that has gained a wide acceptance in the design of tall buildings. There is abundance of researches that studied the efficiency of diagrid systems, which are constructed from the ground level to the top of the buildings in resisting the lateral load. Nevertheless, no study had been performed on the effectiveness of the diagrid that is constructed above other tall building systems despite the existence of a few buildings in the world that employ such system. The objective of this research is to understand the behavior of the lateral displacement and shear lag effect due to wind load when the diagrid structure is constructed above a frame. Models of 60-story buildings with a footprint of 36m x 36m were analyzed by using Staad.Pro software. The level where the diagrid members started was altered. The lateral displacement was reduced to 60.6 percent and 41 percent of the lateral displacement of a building with full frame system when the combination of frame-diagrid that had the diagrid started at Level 1 and Level 45, respectively were employed. Furthermore, the shear lag ratio was reduced from 1.7 to 1.3 when the level where the diagrid started was increased from Level 1 to Level 45.


Advances in construction technology, materials, structural systems and analytical methods for analysis and design facilitated the growth of high rise buildings. Structural design of high rise buildings is governed by lateral loads due to wind or earthquake. Lateral load resistance of structure is provided by interior structural system or exterior structural system. It is very important that the selected structural system is such that the structural elements are utilized effectively while satisfying design requirements. Recently diagrid structural system is adopted in tall buildings due to its structural efficiency and flexibility in architectural planning. diagrid structure consists of inclined columns on the exterior surface of building. Due to inclined columns lateral loads are resisted by axial action of the diagonal. lateral shear can be carried by the diagonals on the periphery of building. Analysis and design of 30 story diagrid steel building is presented. A regular floor plan of 36 m × 36m size is considered. ETABS software is used for modeling and analysis of structural members. All structural members are designed as per IS 800:2007 considering all load combinations. Earthquake is considered for analysis of the structure. Load distribution in diagrid system is also studied for 36 storey building. Similarly, analysis for the different diagrid pattern is carried out. Comparison of analysis results in terms of time period, top storey displacement and storey drift is presented in this paper.
