Features: Calling "seismic control building" "movable building" seems a bit unimaginable. Indeed, under the influence of seismic forces, ordinary buildings only produce extremely small displacements, while seismic control buildings exhibit noticeable movement relative to the ground. Without clearly understanding this characteristic of seismic control buildings, architectural design is prone to problems, making it difficult to ensure the normal functioning of the building. This book compiles a large number of design considerations for architects to pay attention to, detailed construction examples, and various materials beneficial to improving the performance of seismic control buildings. Additionally, it includes seismic technology materials from relevant manufacturers for seismic control building design, as well as the "JSSI Maintenance Management Standard."
