Features: This textbook is developed based on the basic teaching requirements for the "Seismic Design of Engineering Structures" course, as specified by the National Teaching Guidance Committee for Civil and Hydraulic Engineering, which merges several related disciplines such as architectural engineering, geotechnical engineering, underground structure engineering, transportation civil engineering, mine construction, and urban construction into a broader field of civil engineering. It is written in accordance with the fundamental principles and requirements of the GB50011-2001 "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings," JTJ004-89 "Seismic Design Code for Highway Engineering," and GB50010-2002 "Code for Design of Concrete Structures." The book emphasizes both the explanation of fundamental theories and concepts and the teaching of cutting-edge knowledge in the field. It focuses on the systematicity of theory and the operability of practical applications. The content includes: Introduction to Earthquake Engineering, Seismic Design of Sites and Foundations, Seismic Response Analysis of Engineering Structures, Seismic Design of Concrete Frame Structures, Seismic Design of Multistorey Masonry Buildings and Masonry Buildings with Rigid Frames at the Base, Seismic Analysis of Beam Bridges and Arch Bridges, and Seismic Isolation and Energy Dissipation of Engineering Structures. This textbook can serve as a teaching material for full-time undergraduate students of civil engineering in universities, a teaching material for adult education programs in civil engineering-related fields, a reference book for postgraduate students in civil engineering-related fields, and a reading reference for civil engineering technicians.
