COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DIAGRID STRUCTURE SYSTEM IN HIGH RISE BUILDINGS WITH BRACED FRAME STRUCTURE

Diagrid and braced frame structural system are very popular in high rise buildings and is opening new dimensions in buildings design, twisted, tilted and free form have become possible with greater stability with the use of this system. Diagrid system is more efficient than frame structure of columns and beams due to its flexibility in designing the high rise building. Although it's not just geometry of the diagrid structure with give it so much importance in high rise building but also aesthetic appearance of structures. Diagrid and braced frame structure have increased stiffness of high rise building to a great extent and here a comparative study is made to review it in a better way that which system is more efficient. These two kind of structures are compared for displacement, storey drift and base shear and conclusion is made for the better suitability of different approach. By providing diagrid triangulation in the periphery more space is brought into efficient use.
