Features: This book is written based on the new "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings" (GB50011-2001) and focuses on understanding and practical application of seismic design codes. For this purpose, it provides a relatively comprehensive yet concise elaboration on the theories, concepts, and design methods that underpin the new building seismic design code. It introduces the requirements for conceptual seismic design of buildings, seismic design requirements for various structural types, seismic checks, and structural measures, along with some design examples to help readers gain a systematic, comprehensive, and clear understanding of the new building seismic design code. Additionally, it explores some issues that should be noted when applying the new building seismic design code.
