Features: Structural seismic design is an important course in civil engineering. The new edition of the "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings" (GB50011-2001) was implemented starting from January 1, 2002. This textbook was compiled based on the new code and the training requirements for civil engineering programs as specified in the National Ministry of Education's new undergraduate major catalog. The book is divided into eight chapters: Introduction—Earthquake Knowledge, Seismic Knowledge, Seismic Principles; Site and Foundation Seismic Design; Earthquake Response Analysis and Seismic Calculation; Seismic Design of Multistorey Masonry Structures; Seismic Design of High-rise and Multistorey Reinforced Concrete Structures; Seismic Design of Single-Story Industrial Buildings; Seismic Design of Base Isolation and Damping Systems. Each chapter also includes examples, exercises, and discussion questions.
