Diagrid: An innovative, sustainable, and efficient structural system

Summary In recent years, diagrid structures have received increasing attention among both designers and researchers of tall buildings for creating one-of-a-kind signature structures. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of diagrid structures. First, various diagrid configurations, main factors affecting their behaviors, and related design parameters and approaches are discussed. Then, diagrid applications for free-form steel and concrete structures are introduced showing the diagrid applicability for complex structures followed by recent advances in structural design of diagrid connections, diagrid nonlinear behavior, and structural control of diagrids. Recent studies about a new variation of tubular and diagrid systems, hexagrids, are discussed briefly. Finally, the diagrid potential in design of sustainable buildings is delineated.
