Features: The "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings" (GB50011-2001) has been officially published and implemented. To meet the needs of teaching and learning by a broad readership, this book was compiled. It consists of two parts. The first part adopts a question-and-answer format, explaining some basic theories and difficulties in seismic design of buildings. Additionally, the book provides derivations and explanations of relevant provisions, formulas, and calculation coefficients in the "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings" (GB50011-2001). The second part includes general principles of seismic design, site and foundation, seismic actions and their effects, as well as seismic design and measures for various common building structures. Among them, the calculation of internal forces and lateral displacements for reinforced concrete seismic walls, for double-story walls and symmetrical three-story walls, the book employs a differential equation method using the axial force of wall stems as unknowns, and prepares calculation tables; it also provides an exact solution method for multi-story walls. The second part lists representative examples to help readers better understand the basic theories and provisions of the first part. This book is suitable as an extracurricular reference book for students of civil and architectural engineering majors in higher education institutions, as well as a reference book for engineering professionals studying the new code.
