ABSTRACT

The country is located in a country with multiple seismic zones. It is adjacent to the Pacific seismic belt in the east and the Eurasian seismic belt in the south. The earthquake is widely distributed. The frequency of earthquake activity is high and the magnitude is large. It is a country with severe earthquake disasters in the world. One. Therefore, with the development of the economy and the diversity of social needs, the height of the building is getting higher and higher, the body shape becomes more complicated and the seismic design becomes more and more difficult. How to improve the level of seismic design of building structures from the actual situation of earthquake environment and social development in China, making it safer, more reliable, more reasonable and economical, is an important task for many engineers. This paper combines the author's many years of architectural design experience to explain the importance of improving the seismic resistance of high-rise buildings in China and gives some design ideas and improvement measures.
