A Semi Heuristic Investigation: Bracing Effect of Diagrid

Given the increasing need for wind-resistant structures in the current period of fast urbanization and population increase, a thorough knowledge of how different cross-section geometries affect wind load distribution and structural behavior overall is crucial.We investigate the impact of both a rectangular and twisted section design in this study.Using ETABS modules, this study focuses on the aerodynamic characteristics of both configurations, such as pressure distribution, drag-lift coefficients, and vortex shedding frequencies.The research demonstrated the impacts of wind drag in relation to a structure's cross-section layout by intensively simulating a wide variety of realistic wind conditions in order to replicate real-world scenarios.The purpose of the study is to give structural engineers some guidance on how to choose the best cross section shape to minimize wind-related damage and displacement, improve building safety, and take aerodynamic variables into account.In conclusion, this study provides important insights into the dynamics of wind-structure interaction and is a vital resource for developing stronger structures and buildings that can withstand increasing wind loads.By providing a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of different cross sections on wind load responses, it creates opportunities for innovative design solutions that strike a compromise between structural economy and aerodynamic performance.
