Seismic design standards, drift control, ductility, strength, structural irregularityAbstract
This work reviews some requirements of seismic design standards in recent decades in Mexico City, from 1957 to date, grouping them before and after the 1985 earthquake. The topics considered are distortion control, ductility, resistance, and structural irregularity. In some cases, the requirements discussed are compared to those specified in some United States standards.
The topics of distortion control, ductility, and lateral resistance are studied in accordance with current practice. Simple procedures are used for the nonlinear dynamic analysis of reinforced concrete structures that respond to a typical record of soft soil in Mexico City. These structures are based on frames and structural walls, considering the cases of low and high-ductility structures. The results found for the cases studied indicate that the common practice in Mexico of designing only considering Q=2 must change and that the design of high ductility structures is preferable.Finally, suggestions are made to update some requirements of the current Standard.
