The diagrid structure is now one of the trends in tall-building structures. It is preferred not only because of its distinctive appearance but also because of its structural advantages. There are few diagrid buildings that actually exist, however, because of the nodes, which are difficult to make and cost too much. In this study, a node-type diagrid building material with a more efficient structure but with fewer diagrid nodes, fabricated using the finite element method, was proposed and validated via experimentation.

In this paper, the optimal diagrid angle of atypical tall buildings has been found using diagrid optimization technique which is based on parametric algorithm. A diagrid is a diagonal grid which can be seen among atypical tall buildings and structures which effectively resist horizontal and vertical direction loads. Therefore, it is also the objective of this studyto find the maximum stiffness of atypical tall buildings by optimizing diagrid angle. Moreover, this study touches on both cylindrical and tapered off cylindrical structures, as shown in the examples to check the compatibility of optimum diagrid angle, which effectively resists horizontal deformation on top by optimization algorithm.

본 논문에서는 최근 초고층 건축물에 많이 활용되어지는 기둥-가새 시스템인 다이아그리드 시스템을 활용하여 중저층 건축물에 적용가능성을 평가하였다. 본 시스템은 튜브구조의 형태로 횡력에 대한 저항력이 우수하며 중력하중과 황하중을 기초와 지반에 안전하게 하중을 전달한다. 다이아그리드는 경사기둥과 보를 반복적으로 삼각형 형태로 배치되어 중력하중을 받을 경우 수직부재는 압축력을 보는 인장력을 받게 된다. 경사기둥과 보를 연결하는 접합부는 H-형강으로 설계 시 제작이 복잡하고 외관이 좋지 않다. 하지만 원형강관을 사용 할 경우 복합하지 않은 형태로 설계가 가능하고 외관이 우수하기 때문에 외부에 노출이 가능해진다. 또한 원형강관은 개방형 단면 부재에 비해 압축좌굴과 비틀림에 대한 성능 등이 우수하여 구조적인 성능이 우수하다. 원형강관을 이용하여 다이아그리드 시스템이 고층 건축물 뿐만 아니라 중저층 건축물에도 적용 타당성을 검토하였으며 원형강관 접합부 설계는 한계상태설계법이 사용 된 KBC2008(안)을 이용하여 설계하였다.

It is now possible to design buildings in various forms using a diagrid structural system, which is the one of the most useful structural systems. It is difficult to design and construct the connections, however, and the bucklings in braces weaken the seismic performance of structures. In this study, the initial stiffness, ductility, and energy-dissipated capacity of a diagrid and a diagrid BRB were evaluated via frame tests. The results of the cycling load tests showed that the diagrid BRB had better initial stiffness and ductility, and dissipated extra energy after the BRBs were yielded.

The application of the diagrid structural system has increased of late, but cyclic loadings such as winds and earthquakes cannot be fully understood through only an analytical study due to the difficulty of considering its welding property. In this study, diagrid nodes that had been scaled down to 1/5 of their full sizes were tested to find out their structural behavior under seismic or wind loads. Four specimens were used with five parameters, including the welding method and the design details. Cyclic loading tests were carried out, where a tensile load was applied to one brace member and a compression load to the other. The major failure modes in the tests were only failure of bending with tensile stress and tension failure. The welding method and the design details had no effect on the initial stiffness and yielding stress but play a significant role in the failure mode and energy dissipation, respectively.

The results of the analysis of the structural behavior of diagrid nodes that were subjected to cyclic loads such as wind and earthquakes was not fully understood due to difficulties in considering the welding type. In this study, diagrid nodes were tested to determine their behavior when they are subjected to seismic or wind loads. Five specimens were designed and fabricated. The corresponding test parameters were the welding type for each point and the length of the overlap of the side stiffener and the brace web. Tensile force was applied to one diagrid brace member, and compression force was applied to the other diagrid brace member. Cyclic loading was applied until the failure. The test showed that failures are due to axial stress from axial force and the additional bending moment of the two combined axial forces that have different directions. Tensile failure was observed from the tensile force, and local buckling was observed from the compressive force at the flange of the brace member. In addition, the welding type and the length overlap affected the initial stiffness, the yielding stress, and the energy absorption of the diagrid node.

Recently, unconventional high-rise building shapes have attracted attention as a landmark of metropolitan cities and the search for innovative building forms in architecture is ongoing. In this study, $Isotruss^{(R)}$ grid(ITG) used in smaller scale structures was applied to building structural systems and its structural performance was examined. The structural behavior of an ITG was compared with that of a diagrid structure as a reference structure. The stiffness-based design method of the diagrid system was used for the preliminary design stage of member sizing in an ITG. The structural design of 16, 32, and 48-story buildings was carried out for the two systems with the same size. The angle of the inclined columns for ITG and diagrid was $59^{\circ}$ and $68.2^{\circ}$, respectively. The lateral stiffness, steel tonnage of the exterior frame, axial strength ratio, story drift ratio, and natural frequency of the two systems were compared. Based on the analysis result of 6 buildings, the two systems had similar structural capacity; 93.3% and 88.7% of the lateral load was carried by the perimeter frame in the ITG system and diagrid system, respectively. This suggests that the ITG system is better in arranging core columns. Therefore, the proposed ITG system has not only a unique façade, but also substantial structural capacity equivalent to the existing system.
