Abstract

Achieving sustainable spaces is one of the emerging trends of tall buildings regarding their significant impacts on the cities. Reducing energy consumption and material using is investigated as a widely used approach to achieve more efficient tall buildings. Defining more efficient geometries and form modifications have been adopted for this goal. In this paper the effect of plan shape and diagrid angle on structural efficiency of diagrid tall buildings have been studied. A parametric workbench is applied to generate and analyze models. The goal is to find effective form parameters resulting in more efficient forms. Respectively, all models were generated in Rhino/grasshopper architecturally and analyzed by a finite element plug-in structurally. Based on the results, steeper angles almost cause more displacements and needs to be more stiffened. it can be seen almost more sided models need less weight for the structures and it could lead to more efficient forms.
