Evaluating Diagrid Systems: A Modern Approach to Lateral Load Resistance Across Varied Building Heights
Abstract: Modern architectural design and engineering often incorporate advanced structural systems, with diagrid structures becoming popular for high-rise buildings due to their unique geometric patterns and aesthetic appeal. Despite considerable global research on diagrids, a detailed comparative analysis of their structural efficiency remains limited. This thesis assesses the structural efficiency and seismic performance of diagrid lateral load-resisting systems. The effectiveness of diagrids was compared to conventional building designs in multi-storey buildings …

Static and Dynamic Analysis of Conventional, Diagrid and Hexagrid Systems Across Different Storey Heights
Abstract: In structural engineering, multi-storey buildings’ seismic resilience in earthquake-prone areas is crucial. The seismic performance of proposed multi-story buildings with different heights (G+13, G+19, and G+27) is thoroughly examined in this study using traditional structural systems that are octagrid and hexagrid. Under seismic zone III conditions, the study evaluates important parameters such as storey drifts and storey displacements using the Response Spectrum Method. Each structural system's seismic response is assessed …

Performance Based Seismic Evaluation of G+12 RCC Structures in Seismic Zone IV with and without Corner Shear Walls Considering Soil Types I, II, and III
Abstract: Seismic behavior of multi-storey buildings is significantly influenced by structural stiffness and supporting soil conditions. This study investigates the seismic response of a G+12 reinforced concrete building by comparing two structural configurations, namely buildings with shear walls and buildings without shear walls, under three soil conditions: Type I, Type II, and Type III soils. The analysis is carried out using the response spectrum method in accordance with IS 1893 (Part …

The Influence of Soil Types on the Performance of the Building Frames: A Dynamic Analysis
Abstract: The dynamic response of the building structure is to a large extent dependent on the nature of the supporting soil. Soil stiffness and damping metrics fluctuation can cause significant tension in the behaviour of building skeleton when exposed to dynamic loads such as earthquake or wind. This research aims to evaluate how different soil conditions namely hard, medium, and soft soils impact the seismic performance of building frames under dynamic …

Review On BIM-Based (Revit+Robot Software) Comparative Wind Load Analysis of High-Rise RCC Buildings in Zone-III, IV and V
Abstract: Wind load is one of the most critical factors influencing the design and serviceability of high-rise reinforced concrete (RCC) buildings. As building height increases, wind-induced effects such as storey drift, lateral displacement, and structural stiffness become dominant design considerations. Numerous studies have been conducted using conventional and advanced techniques such as Finite Element Method (FEM), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Building Information Modelling (BIM). However, limited research focuses on comparative …

Design and Performance Considerations for Buildings in Coastal and Offshore Environments
Abstract: Buildings near coastal and offshore regions are exposed to extreme wind and seismic forces that govern structural design. In this study, a simplified assessment of wind and earthquake loads acting on a multistorey coastal building is presented. A wind velocity of 400 km/hr. is considered to represent severe cyclonic conditions. Using a unit weight of air of 12 N/m³, the cumulative wind thrust acting over a building height of 40 …
