Diagrid structures : systems / connections / details
Diagrids are load-bearing structures made of steel diagonal grids. They were first used in the great buildings of the turn of the millennium, such as the Swiss Re Tower in London (\"The Gherkin\") and the Hearst Magazine Tower in New York City. Dagrids owe their ensuing popularity not only to their stunning aesthetic value, but also to their very tangible benefits: lateral loading capacity, a massive saving of material, a significant gain in open, usable floor area, and increased flexibility in accommodating geometries.
Book
Composite Structures of Steel and Concrete
This book provides an introduction to the theory and design of composite structures of steel and concrete. Material applicable to both buildings and bridges is included, with more detailed information relating to structures for buildings. Throughout, the design methods are illustrated by calculations in accordance with the Eurocode for composite structures, EN 1994, Part 1-1, 'General rules and rules for buildings' and Part 1-2, 'Structural fire design', and their cross-references to ENs 1990 to 1993. The methods are stated and explained, so that no reference to Eurocodes is needed. The use of Eurocodes has been required in the UK since 2010 for building and bridge structures that are publicly funded. Their first major revision began in 2015, with the new versions due in the early 2020s. Both authors are involved in the work on Eurocode 4.

Parameter sensitivity analysis and structural optimization of PLC construction method pile cofferdam based on RSM
To explore the influence patterns of various structural parameters of the PLC construction method pile cofferdam on its mechanical properties, and to optimize the structural design for enhancing engineering safety and economy, this study relied on the PLC construction method pile cofferdam of the Luoxizhou Super Bridge. Multiple sensitivity analysis methods were employed to identify sensitive parameters. Subsequently, a multi-objective optimization study was conducted based on the identified sensitive parameters. Additionally, the entropy weight TOPSIS decision-making approach was introduced to quantify the advantages and disadvantages of each optimized scheme and the initial design scheme. The results indicate that: (1) Sensitivity rankings derived from the single parameter method and the response surface methodology are consistent across parameters, but the response surface methodology provides more accurate sensitivity quantification. (2) The thicknesses of the steel sheet pile wall, steel pipe pile wall, and bottom-sealing concrete significantly affect the maximum displacement and maximum stress of the cofferdam. (3) The entropy-weighted TOPSIS decision-making can effectively evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the Pareto solution set optimized by the NSGA-II algorithm. (4) Economic cost and structural performance exhibit a nonlinear synergy: As cost increases, the maximum displacement of the cofferdam decreases markedly, whereas the maximum stress of the bottom-sealing concrete decreases at a slower rate.

Research on Integrated Design of Prefabricated Steel Frame Structures Based on BIM Technology with a Focus on Structural Safety
To address the issue of inconsistencies between the 3D structural models built on Building Information Modeling (BIM) platforms and the original structural designs, thereby ensuring structural safety and reliability, this paper proposes an integrated design approach for prefabricated steel frame structures based on BIM technology with a primary focus on structural safety. The application of the integrated design methodology for prefabricated steel frame structures, leveraging BIM technology, is concretely demonstrated through case studies. These illustrations focus on pivotal aspects: assessing the overall safety performance of the structure, conducting meticulous analyses of beam-to-column connection nodes, and harnessing the outcomes of these evaluations to inform and direct the optimization of the structural design. The research findings presented herein offer insights and methodologies for applying BIM in safety assessments of prefabricated steel frame structures, thereby further refining the comprehensive framework of BIM engagement throughout the entire life cycle of prefabricated steel frame construction projects.

A Review of Architectural and Structural Design Typologies of Multi-Storey Timber Buildings in Europe
Numerous countries across the globe have witnessed the recent decades’ trend of multi-storey timber buildings on the rise, owing to advances in engineering sciences and timber construction technologies. Despite the growth and numerous advantages of timber construction, the global scale of multi-storey timber construction is still relatively low compared to reinforced concrete and steel construction. One of the reasons for a lower share of high-rise timber buildings lies in the complexity of their design, where the architectural design, the selection of a suitable structural system, and the energy efficiency concept strongly depend on the specific features of the location, particularly climate conditions, wind exposure, and seismic hazard. The aforementioned shows the need for a comprehensive study on existing multi-storey timber buildings, which correspond to the boundary conditions in a certain environment, to determine the suitability of such a construction in view of its adjustment to local contexts. Apart from exposing the problems and advantages of such construction, the current paper provides a brief overview of high-rise timber buildings in Europe. Moreover, it addresses the complexity of the design approach to multi-storey timber buildings in general. The second part of the paper highlights the importance of synthesising the architectural, energy, and structural solutions through a detailed analysis of three selected case studies. The findings of the paper provide an expanded view of knowledge of the design of tall timber buildings, which can significantly contribute to a greater and better exploitation of the potential of timber construction in Europe and elsewhere.
