How do China, the United States and Europe account for accidental eccentricity in seismic design?

图片
  Regulations and Methods for Considering Accidental Eccentricity Effects in Seismic Design in China, the United States and Europe 1. Regulatory Basis ● China The Code for Seismic Design of Buildings (GB 50011-2010) stipulates that accidental eccentricity must account for uncertainties in structural mass distribution, stiffness distribution, and spatial variations in seismic motion. Torsional effects shall be calculated using either static or dynamic methods. ● United States ASCE 7-22 (American Society of Civil Engineers Standard) requires consideration of accidental torsional effects, typically calculated using static methods, with verification through dynamic analysis results. ● Europe Eurocode 8 (EN 1998-1:2004) simulates the misalignment between mass centres and stiffness centres by introducing accidental eccentricity, and mandates consideration of the effects of bidirectional seismic actions . 2. Definition and Values of Random Eccentricity ● China Eccentricity: ±5% of the ...

Early development of steel structures in China

Structural steelwork is a structure made mainly of steel and is one of the main types of building structure. Steel structures are one of the more common forms of structures used in modern construction work. China was the first country to use iron to make load-bearing structures, as far back as the time of Qin Shi Huang (246-219 BC), when iron was used to make simple load-bearing structures.
