Advances in Constructional Engineering

Earthquakes pose a severe threat to human life and property, making the seismic performance of building structures crucial. This article focuses on architectural engineering and delves into seismic design methods. It covers structural selection and layout, making rational decisions based on building characteristics, and planning neat layouts; strengthening key components such as beams, columns, and nodes to enhance load-bearing deformation capacity; optimizing details like exterior walls and staircases to eliminate potential hazards; and employing isolation and vibration reduction technologies to mitigate earthquake impacts. These comprehensive measures help buildings withstand earthquakes, providing strong guidance for practical seismic design.
