OBJECTIVE
 To analyse and design the concrete diagrid structures using ETabs.

 To analyse the seismic performance behaviour of concrete diagrid structure.

 To analyse and design the concrete diagrid structure compare with brace frame tube structure

with the help Etabs software.

DIAGRID STRUCTURES:
Diagrid is an exterior structural system in which all perimeter vertical columns are eliminated
and consists of only inclined columns on the façade of the building. Shear and over-turning
moment developed are resisted by axial action of these diagonals compared to bending of
vertical columns in framed tube structure.

BRACE FRAME TUBE STRUCTURES:

A braced frame is a structural system designed to resist wind and earthquake forces. Members in

a braced frame are not allowed to sway laterally.
