Chinese Codes

Chinese Codes

(OP)
Hi all

I'm looking for two Chinese codes:

GB 5009 Windload
GB 50011 Seismic load

Can anybody tell where I can find then in english? A downloadable pdf would obviously be excellent if possible.

I have found the codes on a chinese site but unfortunately my chinese in not very good so I don't know what to do.

What I'm looking for are the differences between the two mentioned and for example UBC97.

Regards

Thomas

RE: Chinese Codes


Playing on the internet I got some interesting cross references by using google:

Searching with text 'GB 5009 wind load' ending up with a chinese page. Google / microsoft suggesting installing simplified chinese language packet, doing this, getting page up, google suggesting automatic translation, and.. voila! - mail adresses to chinese graduate students making a comparison between windload basics in US/Australia and China. (Stating that there is basically not much difference, but you will have to look into details yourself)

RE: Chinese Codes

I recently worked on a project where we purchased these in English from the Chinese government.  I think the cost was under USD200.  I'll try and get the address and post it soon. If I remember correctly there are some errors in either a figure or table so I suggest you purchase the Chinese versions too and x-refernce the tables/figures/equations.

Thanks a lot.

I have found a document comparing the seismic code to IBC and they seem to be similar. So I think things will work out.

Anyway, thanks for the help.
