General code for engineering structures
1 General
1.0.1 In order to implement the construction policy in engineering construction,
ensure the safety, applicability, durability of the project structure, meet the
needs of normal use and green development of construction projects, this Code
is hereby formulated.
1.0.2 The engineering structure must implement this Code.
1.0.3 Whether the technical methods and measures, which are adopted in the
engineering construction, meet the requirements of this Code, shall be
determined by the relevant responsible entities. Among them, innovative
technical methods and measures shall be demonstrated AND meet the relevant
performance requirements in this Code.
2 Basic requirements
2.1 Basic requirements
2.1.1 The structure must meet the following requirements, within the design
service life:
1 It shall be able to withstand various actions, that may occur, during normal
construction and normal use;
2 It shall guarantee the intended use requirements of structures and
structural components;
3 It shall guarantee the sufficient durability requirements.
2.1.2 The structure system shall have a reasonable force transmission path,
which can transmit the various actions, that the structure may bear, from the
point of action to the force-resisting members.
2.1.3 When accidental events, such as explosions, collisions, rare earthquakes,
etc. as well as human errors, that may be encountered, the structure shall
maintain the overall stability. There shall be no destructive consequence, that
is not commensurate with the cause. In the event of a fire, the structure shall
2 Vibration, that causes discomfort for personnel OR restricts the use of the
structure;
3 Partial damage, that affects appearance, durability or structural use
function.
3.1.3 During the structural design, it shall calculate or check the limit state that
plays a control role. When the limit state of control action cannot be determined,
for the structural design, it shall calculate or check different limit states,
respectively.
3.1.4 The structural design shall distinguish the following design conditions:
1 Durable design conditions, which are suitable for the normal use of the
structure;
2 Temporary design conditions, which are suitable for temporary conditions,
such as structural construction and maintenance;
3 Accidental design conditions, which are applicable to rare situations such
as fire, explosion, abnormal collision on the structure;
4 The seismic design status, which is applicable to the situation, when the
structure is subjected to an earthquake.
3.1.5 The design conditions, which are selected during structural design, shall
cover various unfavorable conditions, during normal construction and use.
Various design conditions shall be designed for the ultimate limit state of the
bearing capacity; the enduring design conditions shall be designed for the
normal use limit state.
3.1.6 For each design situation, it shall consider a variety of different
combinations of actions, to determine the action control conditions and the most
unfavorable effect design value.
3.1.7 The combination of actions, which are used in the limit state design of the
bearing capacity, shall meet the following requirements:
1 The permanent design status and the short-term design status shall adopt
the basic combination of actions;
2 The accidental design status shall adopt the accidental combination of
actions;
3 The seismic design status shall adopt the combination actions of
earthquakes;
4 The combination of actions shall be a combination of actions, that may
taken, when it is unfavorable to the structure; the lower limit is taken, when it is
favorable for the structure.
4.1.2 The dead weight of permanent equipment, which has a fixed position,
shall be calculated, according to the weight on the equipment nameplate.
Where there is no weight on the nameplate, it shall be calculated, according to
the actual weight.
4.1.3 When the weight of the partition wall is used as a permanent action, it
shall meet the requirements of the same location. The weight of the light
partition wall, which has a flexible location, shall be considered, according to
the variable load.
4.1.4 The earth pressure shall be calculated and determined, according to the
design buried depth AND the dead weight of the soil per unit volume. The dead
weight per unit volume of the soil shall be calculated, based on different
densities, according to the calculated water level.
4.1.5 The prestressing shall consider the influence of time effect; adopt the
effective prestress.
4.2 Floor and roof live loads
4.2.1 When the equivalent uniform live load method is adopted for design, it
shall be ensured that, the load effect produced by it is equivalent to the most
unfavorable stacking situation. In the area with more or heavier stacking on the
building floor and roof, it shall consider the load, according to the actual situation.
4.2.2 The standard values of uniform live load, their combined value coefficients,
frequency coefficients, quasi-permanent value coefficients, on the floor of civil
buildings, under general use conditions, shall not be less than those specified
in Table 4.2.2. When the use load is large, the situation is special or there are
special requirements, it shall be adopted according to the actual situation.
4.2.3 The standard values of uniform live load, their combined value coefficients,
frequency coefficients, quasi-permanent value coefficients, on the floor of car
passages and passenger car parking garages, shall not be less than those
specified in Table 4.2.3. When the application conditions do not meet the
requirements of this Table, the local load of the wheel shall be converted into
an equivalent uniform load, according to the principle of effect equivalence.
4.2.12 The construction and maintenance loads shall be adopted, in
accordance with the following requirements:
1 When designing roof slabs, purlins, reinforced concrete canopies,
cantilever awnings, prefabricated beams, the standard value of the
concentrated load for construction or maintenance shall not be less than
1.0 kN; the check calculations shall be carried out at the most unfavorable
