Introduction to ASCE7 Seismic Design and the Comparison with Chinese Code GB 50011-2010

Abstract:

Nowadays the design becomes more and more international. In order to effectively meet this trend, it is necessary to understand the similar or different concept and application of American code and Chinese code on seismic design. This article introduces the concept and design procedure of ASCE7 and compares the seismic analysis results of ASCE7 and GB 50011-2010 through a project example. The similarities and differences of American code and Chinese code on seismic design are summarized.
