Abstract
The construction industry has witnessed a shift in focus among civil engineers towards designing elevated buildings that can withstand lateral earthquake loads. The Diagonal-grid structural system has emerged as an innovative and flexible solution to address this need. This system utilizes inclined columns arranged in a bordered tube pattern on the building's outer surface, enabling axial action to resist lateral loads. Its advantages include improved organizational efficiency and architectural flexibility. However, further research is necessary to explore the structural characteristics of this system in depth. This study aims to investigate the Diagonal-grid system by conducting linear dynamic analysis using the response spectrum technique in the ETABS software. A comparison is made between the Diagonal-grid system and traditional systems, considering parameters such as top storey displacement, inter-storey drift, base shear, and time period. The impact of module variation on these parameters is examined through the analysis of alternative high-elevation constructions with different module sizes vertically and horizontally.
