Features: This book is written according to the newly released "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings" (GB50011—2001). It primarily introduces the new computational methods for the dynamic response of building structures under seismic actions, as well as the principles of seismic design calculations for building structures. The content includes: basic requirements for seismic design of building structures, site and foundation, seismic actions and principles of seismic design calculations, as well as seismic design of common buildings. The book focuses on the two-stage design method, response spectrum theory, and the new computational methods for the internal forces, displacements, and equivalent stiffness of double-story walls, providing calculation tables. To facilitate readers in learning the main content of the new "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings" (GB50011—2001) and mastering the fundamental theories and computational methods in the book, several typical examples and review questions are included for reference.
