Earthquake Response Assessment of Modified Diagrid Structural System for Multi-storey Building
In here, a Modified Diagrid Structural System (MDSS) has been proposed to compare with diagrid structural system, Regular Frame with Optimized Single Tuned Mass Damper (RFwOSTMD) system and Regular Frame without Optimized Single Tuned Mass Damper (RFwoOSTMD) system. To this aim, a rectangular reinforced cement concrete (R.C.C) building and a diagrid R.C.C multi-storey building were considered, and analyzed without controlling device, with optimized TMD, Diagrid Structural System (DSS), and MDSS. All of the models are investigated by using SAP2000. All of the buildings are analyzed and evaluated under El-centro earthquake. The response of proposed MDSS under earthquake is compared with the RFwoOSTMD, RFwOSTMD and DSS. The results show that the proposed MDSS is preferable than the DSS, as well as RFwOSTMD.
