The Seismic Design of Multilayer Masonry Building in Earthquake Fortifying Areas

As a traditional architecture form,the masonry structure still holds an extremely important position in all kinds of building in our country.The development of seismic design of masonry structure has always been paid attention to by the structural engineers.Unified with the new seismic design standard,this paper introduces the design principle of space between structural column in restrictive masonry,the calculation of the seismic carrying capacity and the basic requirements of the seismic measureds taken in all kinds of masonry structures.
