Features: It might seem a bit strange to call "seismic control buildings" "movable buildings." Indeed, under the influence of seismic forces, conventional buildings only undergo extremely small displacements, whereas seismic control buildings exhibit noticeable movement relative to the ground. Failing to clearly understand this characteristic of seismic control buildings can lead to design issues and make it difficult to ensure the normal functioning of the building. This book compiles a wealth of design considerations that designers should pay attention to, detailed construction examples, and various materials that are highly beneficial for 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 Standards."
