Features: This book is based on the unified training version of the "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings" GB50011-2001, with minor revisions. It elaborates on the situation and tasks of seismic disaster prevention in China's construction projects and the importance of improving the seismic fortification quality of engineering. It systematically introduces the background, legal and regulatory basis, technical policies, and main revisions of the new code, including: seismic fortification standards for buildings, basic requirements for seismic design, seismic design of sites, foundations, and subgrades, seismic actions on structures and seismic verification, and new seismic design provisions for various types of buildings such as multi-story and high-rise reinforced concrete buildings, multi-story masonry buildings, low-rise frame buildings, and single-story industrial buildings. It also introduces the newly added content on seismic design for multi-story and high-rise steel structure buildings, seismic design for building isolation and energy dissipation, and seismic design for non-structural components. Special emphasis is placed on the mandatory provisions of the new code to facilitate seismic fortification management for new construction projects.
