CONCLUSIONS
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Considering the impact the construction industry has on the environment, it is very
important to investigate sustainable solutions
CONCLUSIONS
Diagrid structures allow a considerable saving of material compared to more
traditional structural schemes such as outrigger structures and guarantee a better
performance in terms of strenght, stiffness and ductility.
Among the diagrid structures considered the one with the best overall behavior results
to be the one with 60° diagonal element inclination
LIMITATIONS
Dynamic analyses should be performed in the future for both the serviceability and safety assessment, considering more appropriate loading scenarios.
The defined performance equation is calibrated with specific coefficient values that
highlight the sustainability aspect.
