ADAPTATION OF HYPERBOLOID STRUCTURE FOR HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS WITH EXOSKELETON

In this paper implementing a hyperboloid structure as the exoskeleton of a high-rise building is studied. A DiaGrid exoskeleton with straight lines from the ground to top is used to set up the structure of the building and determine its hyperboloid architectural form within a parametric environment. The resulting structure is later subjected to lateral loads and linear-static structural analysis. The results demonstrate that the lateral drift of the structure with hyperboloid shape will become as low as half of a cylindrical shaped building with similar architectural and functional properties and the same structural system under similar loading conditions. The results of the preliminary analysis of the structure in the parametric environment are further verified with a more sophisticated structural model under seismic loads with static equivalent seismic loads and response spectrum modal analysis.
