Abstract
Summary In this study, the seismic performance of hexagrid structures which are composed of horizontal and vertical
hexagrid by using a transitional story, has been investigated. To this end, 10 models of 50-story hexagrid structures were
designed. 9 models with horizontal hexagrid cells which transited to vertical cells using a transitional story, and a model of
completely horizontal hexagrid have been designed. Finally, the seismic performance of these models were investigated
and compared to the horizontal hexagrid structure to obtain the optimum location of the transitional story. According to the
analyses results, combining horizontal and vertical hexagrid cells can strongly affect the seismic performance of the
structure. Thus, choosing the optimum location of transitional story, regarding design priorities, is of significant
importance.
