Abstract: The design of multilayer reinforced concrete frame with basement for the electric control room of a steel mill is discussed in accordance with the "Building Foundation Design Code (GB5007-2011)" and "Building Seismic Design Code (GB5011-2010)." The impact of the lateral stiffness and the backfill soil on the performance of the upper portion of the concrete frame is also discussed in this paper. A simplified model that considering the need of the practical project is presented and a basement wall design calculation methods are also proposed in the paper.

Key words: Basements, Frame Structures, Analytical Model, Analysis Parameters
