Features: This book focuses on the seismic theory and design methods of large-span spatial structures, covering main structural forms such as grids, reticulated shells, and cable structures. It discusses the seismic analysis theory, computational methods, seismic performance, seismic design, and vibration control techniques for these structural systems. The book is divided into four parts and 19 chapters. Part I primarily elaborates on the seismic analysis theory and design of spatial grid structures; Part II focuses on the seismic random response analysis theory under multi-dimensional seismic actions and the response characteristics of reticulated shell structures; Part III covers the seismic analysis theory and design of geometrically nonlinear cable structures; Part IV addresses vibration control techniques for large-span spatial structures. This book is suitable for civil engineering professionals engaged in spatial structure research, design, and construction, as well as serving as a textbook or reference for senior undergraduate or graduate students in civil engineering.
