Suqian Education Building

which locates in a region of high earthquake intensity with basic designed acceleration of ground motion of 0.3g

is designed by the method of energy-dissipation earthquake-reduction in this paper. The energy-dissipation braced frame structure system is used to replace the ordinary frame-shear wall structure system

the optimum number and location of the energy-dissipated braces in this building are studied. Calculation results of the nonlinear time-history analysis by SAP2000N software show that

the energy-dissipation braced frame structure can satisfy the requirements of "Code for seismic design of buildings"

possess higher safety under seldom occurring earthquake

and has excellent aseismic behaviors. The design method suggested in this paper can be utilised for the design of similar projects in the region of high earthquake intensity.
