Research Process in Seismic Design of Building Steel Structures
China's seismic design started late,but after experiencing several major earthquakes,it has gradually established a comprehensive seismic design system through the absorption of foreign experiences and independent research,resulting in significant progress in the field of steel structures.Currently,China's steel structure seismic design adopts the"three-level,two-stage"approach and has developed a performance-based seismic design philosophy.This paper reviews the historical evolution and latest advancements in seismic design for building steel structures both domestically and internationally.It comprehensively explains China's development process in steel structure seismic design from scratch,from lagging behind to gradually aligning with world standards,through three perspectives:the historical development of China's steel structure seismic technology,current mainstream technologies,and future prospects for this field.On the other hand,this paper provides a brief overview of major breakthroughs in relevant technologies from developed countries at different periods.Through comparison,it is evident that China's steel structure seismic design technology has rapidly developed over the past few decades,but the paper also discusses the existing shortcomings.Finally,clear recommendations are provided for the future development of steel structure seismic-related technologies and standards in China.
