Seismic response of the Mexico City Basin: A review of twenty years of research
H Flores-Estrella, S Yussim, C Lomnitz - Natural Hazards, 2007 - Springer
Mexico City, political and economic center of Mexico, was founded in a lake, at more than
2000 m above sea level. The lacustrine mud under the downtown area is associated with …

Site effect evaluation at Mexico City: dominant period and relative amplification from strong motion and microtremor records
J Lermo, FJ Chávez-García - Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 1994 - Elsevier
Abstract Site effects in Mexico City are discussed in terms of simple 1D, one-layer, linear
models. The analysis is focussed on two parameters: dominant period and maximum …
