Features: This book primarily discusses the seismic principles and design methods for large-span roof structures, emphasizing both theory and practical application. The content is divided into two parts. The first part introduces the structural forms and construction installation methods suitable for large-span roofs, as well as the experience of seismic damage to large-span buildings. The second part elaborates on the seismic design principles and methods for different structural forms, including planar trusses, lattice three-hinged arches, gridshells, spatial trusses, reticulated shells, and cable-supported structures. It covers their dynamic characteristics, seismic performance, and seismic internal force calculations, with some sections providing practical calculation methods and examples.
