Karamba3D plugin has been used for structural design and analysis of each model. Structural design criteria and load combinations defined based on the ASCE 7-10 code. The structural performance of each model evaluated regarding its performance toward the lateral earthqak load.

Diagrid structures commonly utilize intersecting diagonal members instead of the conventional vertical columns as structural supporting systems. In a diagrid structures, almost all the conventional vertical columns are eliminated. This is possible because the diagonal members in diagrid structural systems can carry gravity loads as well as lateral forces due to their triangulated configuration in a distributive and uniform manner

Design of diagrid structure regarding load scenarios has been done considering seismic design criteria including : inter-story drift constrain to 0.025 each model story hight, maximum total displacment contrain to 1/500 each model total hight . the structure analysis of s typical model has been shown bellow.

The load scenarios for this project includes Dead-load, Live-load and lateral Earthquak-load. Linear-static analysis regarding combination of Dead loads, Live load and servicability earthquak load has been used for designing and tunnig the diagrid structure.
