A new tetrahedral structure model was developed for disordered sphere packings, including not only regular tetrahedron (T), but also quartoctahedron (Q) and bcc simplex (, the tetrahedral building blocks in fcc, hcp and bcc crystal structures, respectively. Both geometric frustrated configurations and local configurations associated with crystalline order in disordered packings can be comprehensively characterized. It is found that with increasing packing fraction, the population of T, Q, and B increases. Moreover, the crystal-type
