Features: Calling "seismic control buildings" "movable buildings" might seem a bit strange. Indeed, ordinary buildings only undergo extremely small displacements under seismic forces, while seismic control buildings exhibit noticeable movement relative to the ground. Without a clear understanding of this characteristic of seismic control buildings, architectural design can easily go wrong, making it difficult to ensure the normal functioning of the building. This book compiles a large number of design considerations for architects to pay attention to, detailed construction examples, and various materials that are highly beneficial for improving the performance of seismic control buildings. Additionally, it includes seismic technology materials from relevant manufacturers for seismic control building design, as well as the "JSSI Maintenance Management Standard."
