An integrated optimal structural design method for a diagrid structure and control device was developed. A multi-objective genetic algorithm was used and a 60-story diagrid building structure was developed as an example structure. Artificial wind and earthquake loads were generated to assess the wind-induced and seismic responses. A smart tuned mass damper (TMD) was used as a structural control system and an MR (magnetorheological) damper was employed to develop a smart TMD (STMD). The multi-objective genetic algorithm used five objectives including a reduction of the dynamic responses, additional stiffness and damping, mass of STMD, capacity of the MR damper for the integrated optimization of a diagrid structure and a STMD. From the proposed method, integrated optimal designs for the diagrid structure and STMD were obtained. The numerical simulation also showed that the STMD provided good control performance for reducing the wind-induced and seismic responses of a tall diagrid building structure.

The diagrid structural system is considered to be not only the best structural system for constructing free form structures, but also a very effective system in resisting lateral load. As a newly investigated structural system, its complicated node has not yet been completely investigated and minimal experimentation of manufacturing and constructing the system have been conducted. Therefore, the constructing cost of the diagrid structural system is still comparatively high. In this paper, the cyclic performance of a diagrid node with an H-section brace will be discussed. Design details that consider productivity were proposed and their structural performances were assessed through experimental and analytical investigation.

Today's architectural design trend based on the recognition of pluralism has led to multiple design directions for all building types including tall buildings. This contemporary design trend has produced many complex-shaped tall buildings, such as twisted, tilted, tapered and freeform towers. Among many different structural systems developed for tall buildings, the diagrid system, with its powerful structural rationale and distinguished aesthetic potential, is one of the most widely used systems for today's tall buildings. This paper studies structural performance of diagrid systems employed for complex-shaped tall buildings. Twisted, tilted, tapered and freeform tall buildings are designed with diagrid structures, and their structural performances are investigated. For the twisted diagrid study, the buildings are twisted up to 3 degrees per floor. In the tilted diagrid study, the angles of tilting range from 0 to 13 degrees. The impact of eccentricity is investigated for gravity as well as lateral loads in tilted towers. In the study of tapered diagrid structures, the angles of tapering range from 0 to 3 degrees. In the study of freeform diagrid structures, lateral stiffness of freeform diagrids is evaluated depending on the degree of fluctuation of free form. The freeform floor plans fluctuate from plus/minus 1.5 meter to plus/minus 4.5 meter boundaries of the original square floor plan. Parametric structural models are generated using appropriate computer programs and the models are exported to structural engineering software for design, analyses and comparative studies.

The ingenuity of structural engineers in the field of tall and super-tall buildings has led to some of the most remarkable inventions. During this evolution of structural engineering concepts in the last 100 years, the technical challenges that engineers encountered were extraordinary and the advances were unprecedented. However, as the accomplishments of structural engineers are progressing, the desire for taller and safer structures is also increasing. The diagrid structural system is part of this evolving process as it develops a new paradigm for tall building design combining engineering efficiency and new architectural expression. The first appearances of this type of tall buildings have already been constructed and the interest of both engineering and architectural communities is growing mainly due to the many advantages compared to other structural systems. This paper presents a simple approach on optimizing member sizes for the diagonals of steel diagrid tall buildings. The optimizing method is based on minimizing the volume of the diagonal elements of a diagrid structure. The constraints are coming from the stiffness-based design, limiting the tip deflection of the building to widely accepted regulative limits. In addition, the current paper attempts to open the discussion on the important topic of optimization and robustness for tall buildings and also studies the future of the diagrid structural system.

현재 보다 다양한 형태의 건축물 설계를 가능하게 하는 대표적인 구조 시스템으로 다이아그리드 시스템이 있다. 다이아그리드 시스템은 접합부 설계 및 시공의 어려움과 가새 부재 좌굴에 의해 내진성능이 저하된다는 단점이 있으며, 이를 보안하기 위해 비좌굴 가새를 이용한 다이아그리드 시스템을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 다이아그리드 시스템과 다이아그리드 BRB 시스템의 골조 실험을 통해 초기 강성, 연성 능력과 에너지 소산능력을 평가였다. 반복가력실험 결과 Diagrid BRB의 초기 강성과 연성능력이 더 크게 나타났으며, BRB 항복 이후에도 지속적인 에너지 흡수가 이루어짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

This article presents a proposed analytical methodology to determine seismic force-resisting system R-values for steel diagrid framed systems. As current model building codes do not explicitly address the seismic design performance factors for this new and emerging structural system, the purpose of this study is to provide a sound and reliable basis for defining such seismic design parameters. An approach and methodology for the reliable determination of seismic performance factors for use in the design of steel diagrid framed structural systems is proposed. The recommended methodology is based on current state-of-the-art and state-of-the practice methods including structural nonlinear dynamic analysis techniques, testing data requirements, building code design procedures and earthquake ground motion characterization. In determining appropriate seismic performance factors (R, ${\Omega}_O$, $C_d$) for new archetypical building structural systems, the methodology defines acceptably low values of probability against collapse under maximum considered earthquake ground shaking.

최근 건축물들이 미적인 아름다움을 추구하며 점차 비정형화 되어감에 따라 이를 실현시켜 주기 위한 새로운 구조시스템들이 개발되고 있다. Diagrid system은 외각에 배치 된 경사진 기둥을 통해 구조물의 중력하중과 횡력을 모두 저항하는 시스템으로 건물 내부에 기둥이 없어 비교적 평면 변화에 유리한 시스템이다. 하지만 현행의 내진설계 기준에는 이와 같은 새로운 구조시스템에 대한 내진성능계수가 명시되어 있지 않다. 이에 새로운 내진성능 평가 방법인 ATC-63이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 구조물의 비정형성을 고려해주기 위해 3D 비선형 해석 모델에 각각 작용하는 하중의 방향을 달리하며 ATC-63에서 제시하고 있는 절차에 따라 비정형 Diagrid system의 내진성능을 평가하였다.

Diagrid structures have been introduced as a fairly modern lateral load-resisting system in the design of high-rise buildings. In this paper, a novel diagrid system called tube-in-tube diagrid building is introduced and assessed through pushover and incremental dynamic analyses. The main objectives of this paper are to find the optimum angle of interior and exterior diagrid tube and evaluate the efficiency of diagrid core on the probability of collapse comparing to the conventional diagrid system. Finally, the seismic performance factors of the proposed system are validated according to the FEMA P695 methodology. To achieve these, 36-story diagrid buildings with various external and internal diagonal angles are designed and then 3-D nonlinear models of these structures developed in PERFORM-3D. The results show that weight of steel material highly depends on diagonal angle of exterior tube. Adding diagrid core generally increases the over-strength factor and collapse margin ratio of tall diagrid buildings confirming high seismic safety margin for tube-in-tube diagrid buildings under severe excitations. Collapse probabilities of both structural systems under MCE records are less than 10%. Finally, response modification factor of 3.0 and over-strength factor of 2.0 and 2.5 are proposed for design of typical diagrid and tube-in-tube diagrid buildings, respectively.

비정형 초고층건물을 위한 구조시스템 중에서 다이어그리드 구조시스템은 구조적인 효율성 및 조형성 때문에 널리 사용되고 있다. 근래에는 초고층건물을 위한 구조시스템으로 메가부재의 조합을 통하여 횡방향 강성을 효과적으로 발휘할 수 있는 메가프레임 시스템이 널리 사용되고 있다. 두 가지 구조시스템의 장점을 혼합한 다이어그리드 메가프레임 구조시스템은 미래형 초고층건물에 적용될 유망한 구조시스템으로 평가받고 있다. 그러나 이러한 다이어그리드 메가프레임 구조시스템을 적용한 건물의 거동을 예측하기 위해서는 매우 많은 수의 절점과 요소로 이루어진 유한요소 모델을 해석해야 하므로 상당한 양의 해석시간과 엔지니어의 노력이 필요하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다이어그리드 메가프레임시스템을 적용한 초고층건물의 거동을 효율적으로 해석할 수 있는 기법을 제안하여 다이어그리드 메가프레임 초고층건물의 해석과 설계에 소요되는 시간과 노력을 줄이고자 한다. 이를 위하여 다이어그리드 메가프레임의 특정을 활용한 효율적인 모형화기법과 행렬응축기법을 사용하여 해석에 사용되는 자유도수를 최소화한 해석기법을 제안하였다. 예제구조물의 해석을 수행하여 본 연구에서 제안된 해석방법과 일반적인 해석방법에 의한 결과와 비교함으로써 제안된 방법의 효율성과 정확성을 검증하였다.

Diagrid system has been in the spotlight for its superiority in terms of the resistance to lateral force when applied to skyscrapers. In diagrid system, most of columns can be eliminated because vertical loads (gravity loads) and horizontal loads (lateral loads) are delivered simultaneously thanks to the triangular shape of diagrid. However, lack of studies on connection shape and node connection details makes it hard to employ the system to the buildings. In this study, the structural safety of the node connections in circular steel tube diagrid system which has been considered in the Cyclone Tower in Korea (Seven stories below and fifty-one above the ground) was evaluated using the 4 full-scale specimens. The parameters are the extended length (20 mm, 40 mm & 60 mm), thickness (40 mm & 50 mm).
