Features: This book is primarily based on the "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings" (GB50011-2001) and references the curriculum requirements for "Seismic Design of Engineering Structures" recommended by the Guidance Committee of Civil Engineering Undergraduate Programs in Higher Education. The content includes: basic knowledge of earthquakes, fundamental requirements for seismic design of engineering structures, seismic design of site foundations and substructures, response spectrum theory for seismic action calculations in elastic systems, time-history analysis for seismic response of elastoplastic systems, and seismic design methods for multi-story and high-rise concrete structures, multi-story masonry and low-rise frame structures, multi-story and high-rise steel structures, single-story reinforced concrete column workshops, and bridge structures. To reflect new technologies in structural seismic engineering, the book introduces structural isolation, damping, and vibration control techniques. Calculation examples are provided at the end of each major chapter. This book can serve as a textbook for full-time undergraduate students of civil engineering in higher education institutions and for adult education programs in civil engineering, as well as a reference for civil engineering professionals.
