S2A: Towards Improved Seismic Resilience in Mexico City

Tuesday, March 23, 4:30pm - 5:30pm (EDT)

Time shown in-04:00 America, New York

2021 EERI Annual Meeting:
Mexico City is the fifth largest city in the world and located in a region of high seismic hazard. This session will focus on how the 2017 Puebla-Morelos Earthquake has influenced and changed how the country plans to design for and recovers from future earthquakes. The 2017 earthquake uncovered a significant gap between the expectations of the Mexican society for the seismic performance of the built environment, and the goals stated in the current building code. Additionally new approaches to considering earthquake-resistant design are being explored and accelerated, from performance-based evaluation, the use of displacement-based approaches, and resilience-based design. This session will share lessons learned and perspectives from colleagues in Mexico facing these challenges
