摘要

In recent decades, diagrids have become a viable alternative for making a structure seismically resilient, despite the fact that there are several lateral force resisting systems (LFRS) available. Buildings with diagonally organized grids on their facades are diagrids, and they also improve the building’s aesthetics. They can resist lateral loads and transfer gravity loads and often use less materials which makes them different from other LFRS. The current study examines how braced core walls, with bracing configurations like X, V, chevron, and eccentric bracings and the best configured braces as buckling restrained braces (BRB), when diagrids positioned at angles of 49.39°, 60.25°, 66.8°, has effect on the seismic behavior of models. The influence of the core wall on the seismic performance is examined by interpretation of capacity curves to understand the first buckling of diagrid, plastic hinge formation, ductility ratio, displacement of the structure at performance point, etc. Analytical data from ETABS shows that the core wall with X bracings exhibited better results irrespective of the diagrid angle. The plastic hinge formations showing various performance levels indicates that BRBs and X bracing consistently exhibit the best seismic performance. The incorporation of BRBs as bracings in core of the structure increases the ductility and displacement at performance point by 12.50% and 42.39% for D49.39 group, 23.3% and 48.98% for D60.25 group, and 22.17% and 50.87% for D66.8 group of models. It is understood that diagrid buildings with BRBs and X bracing at the inner core performs well during seismic events.
