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. Diagrids owe their ensuing popularity not only to their stunning aesthetic value, but also to their very tangible benefits: a massive saving of material, a significant gain in open, usable floor area, and increased flexibility. The book looks at contemporary diagrid buildings such as Capital Gate (Abu Dhabi), Guangzhou IFC (China), Bow Encana (Calgary), CCTV (China) and the Doha Tower (Qatar) to establish an understanding of the methodology of the design of this innovative type. At its opening in 2014, The Leadenhall Building in London will be the first skyscraper without a bearing inner core--thanks to a diagrid structure. This book explains comprehensively for the first time all of the aspects involved in this new bearing structure. The author, experienced in teaching, research, and practice (recent publication: Understanding Steel Design: An Architectural Design Manual, 2011), has tracked the development of this technology from its beginnings and employs thorough photographic documentation of the construction phases of many diagrid structures.

This publication has been developed to help engineers analyze, design and detail low-rise cast-in-place conventionally reinforced concrete buildings in accordance with the 2009 edition of the International Building Code® (IBC®). The 2009 IBC references the 2008 edition of Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-08) and the 2005 edition of ASCE/SEI 7, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, the narrative and examples are based on these current standards wherever applicable. Section numbers and equation numbers from the 2009 IBC®, ACI 318-08 and ASCE/SEI 7-05 that pertain to the specific requirements are provided throughout the text.

I have a question regarding a request for new link (when all old ones are dead) for the existing thread (e.g. book which is in section "eBooks"):
- is it appropriate to make a new thread with a request in subsection "Books, Codes, Theses, Journals & Papers Request"
- or I can ask for a new link inside the existing thread in "eBooks"
I would like to obey rules, but I am not sure for this one.
thank you in advance!
