Since the installation of an extensive digital strong motion array by Fundación Javier Barros
Sierra in 1987 three moderate earthquakes have been recorded by the array and by the …

An intraslab normal-faulting earthquake struck the central region of Mexico on 19 September
2017, leading to the collapse of 44 buildings in Mexico City. After the earthquake, the …

In the wake of death and destruction left by the 2017 earthquake in Mexico City, it is natural
to ask whether the event was unexpected and anomalous. Although such an intraslab …

A systematic approach is proposed for formulating risk-based cost-effective criteria for the
design and upgrading of structures with special reference to earthquake protection. Target …

Historically, the seismic performance of structures with conditions of structural irregularity
has been poor in strong earthquakes when compared to those of regular structures. In …

Abstract On September 19th, 2017 a Mw7. 1 intermediate-depth normal-fault earthquake
occurred approximately 120 km away from Mexico City. The earthquake produced the …

We derive strong ground-motion relations for horizontal components of pseudo-acceleration
response spectra from Mexican interplate earthquakes at rock sites (NEHRP B class) in the …

In this study, a 3D physics-based numerical approach, based on the spectral element
numerical code SPEED, is used to simulate seismic wave propagation due to a local …

A set of reinforced concrete structures with gravitational loads and mechanical properties
(strength and stiffness) representative of systems designed for earthquake resistance in …

This paper presents a methodology to quantify a proposed parameter defined as expected
annual seismic resilience, which takes into account all possible events that affect a site of …
