Features: To facilitate structural design professionals in systematically understanding and applying current structural design codes, this manual comprehensively compiles widely used calculation formulas and construction specifications from seven codes, supplemented with necessary explanations. It transforms inconveniently applicable formulas and, as much as possible, employs diagrams and tables to represent and elaborate on them. This is a comprehensive code application manual, covering topics such as load and load combinations, wind load and seismic action calculations, calculation methods for multi-story and high-rise building structures, increased and adjusted internal forces in structures, direct calculation of reinforcement area, foundation and subgrade calculations, construction specifications for non-seismic and seismic structures, and construction specifications for foundations and pile foundations. Its purpose is to assist structural design professionals in adhering to code requirements during both structural calculation and structural detail design processes. The seven structural design codes referenced in this manual are: "Load Code for the Design of Building Structures" (GB50009—2001), "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings" (GB50011—2001), "Code for Design of Concrete Structures" (GB50010—2002), "Technical Specification for Concrete Structures of Tall Buildings" (JGJ3—2002), "Code for Design of Building Foundations and Subgrades" (GB50007—2002), "Technical Specification for Building Pile Foundations" (JGJ94—94), and "Technical Specification for Box and Raft Foundations of Tall Buildings" (JGJ6—99). This manual is applicable for structural design professionals and faculty and students of civil engineering majors in colleges and universities.
