Features: The "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings" (GB50011-2001) has been officially published and implemented. This book was compiled to support teaching and help a broad readership learn the code. It consists of two parts. The first part adopts a question-and-answer format to explain some basic theories and difficulties in seismic design of buildings. Additionally, the book provides derivations and explanations for relevant articles, 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 symmetric three-story walls, the book employs a differential equation method using the axial force of wall stems as unknowns, and prepares calculation tables. For multi-story walls, it provides an exact solution method. The second part lists representative examples to help readers better understand the basic theories and code articles in 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 for engineering professionals studying the new code.
