The article provides a brief overview of the creation of the Diagrid system, describes the concept of forming this structure, its key elements and their role in creating geometrically immutable integral structures. The main directions of application in construction and the peculiarities of work on vertical and horizontal force effects are given. It also provides an overview of the materials of construction used and the main design constraints. This article will be useful for design engineers and architects engaged in the design and calculation of high-rise buildings, as well as buildings with a complex architectural form made of reinforced concrete and metal structures.
Keywords: diagrid, mesh supporting structures, reinforced concrete structures, metal structures, stability, free architectural form
The article reproduces and supplements the experience of modeling and determining the optimal angle of inclination of the lattice with an estimate of the total lengths of the elements, the greatest forces, displacements and natural frequencies for computer models of various configurations. The possibility of using this system in civil construction with the use of volume-block technology of building construction is described. This article will be useful for design engineers involved in the design and calculation of high-rise buildings, bulk-block or modular buildings made of reinforced concrete and metal structures.
