Features: This book reflects the scientific basis and the results of collective discussions during the revision of the seismic design code for buildings. The main background materials of the "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings" GB50011-2001 are introduced in detail, including the determination of seismic effects on buildings, seismic conceptual design, classification of site categories and engineering impacts of hidden faults, design response spectra and accidental eccentricity seismic effects, inter-story drift control and inelastic elastic-plastic analysis methods, ductility of concrete frames, and seismic design methods. The book also provides relevant information on new developments in seismic design for steel structures, non-structural components, seismic isolation, and energy dissipation design for buildings.
