1.0.1 This code is formulated with a view to implementing the national laws and regulations on the seismic protection and disaster mitigation and the prevention-first policy so that the special structures can relieve seismic damage after seismic fortification to avoid casualties or complete loss of use function and minimize economic loss.
1.0.2 This code is applicable to seismic design of special structures at the area with Intensity 6 ~ Intensity 9 seismic precautionary intensity.
1.0.3 The seismic precautionary objective for the special structures, subjected to the seismic design according to this code, within 50-year design service life: the main structure shall not be damaged or not required to be repaired and may continue in service in case of being suffered from the frequent earthquakes below seismic precautionary intensity of this area; the damaged structure may continue in service after general repair in case of being suffered from precautionary earthquake equivalent to seismic precautionary intensity of this area; the integral collapse shall be avoided in case of being suffered from the rare earthquake higher than seismic precautionary intensity of this area.
1.0.4 The special structures with Intensity 6 or above seismic precautionary intensity must be subjected to seismic design.
1.0.5 The seismic precautionary intensity and the design parameters of ground motion must be determined according to the documents (graphic documents) approved and issued by the national authority and adopted according to the approval documents.
1.0.6 The seismic precautionary intensity shall adopt the basic seismic intensity in the current national standard "Seismic Ground Motion Parameter Zonation Map of China" GB 18306 or the intensity corresponding to the design basic acceleration value of ground motion in this code. The engineering site subjected to the seismic safety evaluation should be subjected to seismic fortification according to approved seismic precautionary intensity or the design parameters of ground motion.
1.0.7 The seismic design of special structures shall meet not only the requirements stipulated in this code, but also the provisions of the related current national standards.
