Comparative Study on the Main Parameters of Ground Motions in Seismic Design Codes in China and America
-
Abstract
By the comparison and analysis between the seismic design codes of China and America about the seismic precaution criterion, the building classification, the site classification, the ground motion acceleration for structure design and the characteristic period, it presents differences of the seismic hazard characteristics between Chinese code and American code when determining the seismic precaution criterion and the ground motion acceleration for structure design because of the difference of seismic design concept, shows the relationship on the building and the site classification, also compare the relative parameters of the characteristic period, finally the conversion relationships between the parameters of ground motions in Chinese code and American code are proposed to provide the reference for the seismic design of overseas projects in the future.
