Dongkyu Lee, Taehyu Ha, Miyoung Jung and Jinho Kim

Abstract

In recent, development of construction and design technology gives taller, larger and heavier steel framed structures. With the tendency of increasing high-rise building, this study is strongly related to structural system, one of significant components in structural design. This study presents an innovative structural system, with high performance steel material, diagrid. Its detail, structural analysis, and structural experiments are all included for the development of new structures.

Key Words
