Technical Standard

Building seismic isolation design standards are a series of specifications and requirements formulated to improve the seismic performance of building structures in the event of earthquakes and protect people's lives and property. Different countries and regions may have their own building isolation design standards. The following are some of the more common international building isolation design standards:

Building seismic isolation design standards are a series of specifications and requirements formulated to improve the seismic performance of building structures in the event of earthquakes and protect people's lives and property. Different countries and regions may have their own building isolation design standards. The following are some of the more common international building isolation design standards:

USA: AASHTO

ASCE 7: American Society of Civil Engineers Standard for Earthquake Loading.

NEHRP: National Earthquake Risk Reduction Plan.

Japan:

Japanese Building Standards Code (JBC): including the "Seismic Design Standards for Buildings" (Seismic Design Standards for Buildings), etc.

Europe: 

EN 1337

EN 15129

Eurocode 8: "European Structural Design Standard - Part 8: Code for Seismic Design".

China:

GB 50011: "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings".

GB 50223: "Steel Structure Design Code".

These standards usually include calculation methods for seismic effects, structural design requirements, selection and design of isolation equipment, structural material requirements, etc. The purpose of building isolation design standards is to ensure that buildings have sufficient seismic resistance when an earthquake occurs, reduce the impact of earthquakes on building structures, and ensure people's safety. Building isolation design standards typically vary based on seismic areas, building uses, and structural forms. Designers and engineers need to develop appropriate isolation design solutions based on specific standards and geographical conditions.
