Effect of base columns arrangement to lateral displacement and shear lag of modified diagrid structures

Diagrid structural systems are now widely used for tall buildings construction. This system can provide great efficiency and aesthetic value in structure. Until now, all the structures of diagrid systems had been designed with full triangulated members from the ground level to the top of the buildin...

Civil engineering (General) Diagrid structural systems are now widely used for tall buildings construction. This system can provide great efficiency and aesthetic value in structure. Until now, all the structures of diagrid systems had been designed with full triangulated members from the ground level to the top of the building.

The comparison of diagrid and modified diagrid structures shows the diagrid structure provides better lateral resistance and efficiency to the building. Besides that, the shear lag effect at bottom of the building between diagrid structure and modified structures were very different.
