Site conditions in an earthquake. Mexico city situation
Journal Title: Gaceta Técnica - Year 2017, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
The impact generated in society by the consequences derived from a seismic event is directly associated with the evidence of material and human losses in the populations. The magnitude of these losses is equally related to the conjunction of factors such as seismicity, construction materials, soil deposits, geometry of the buildings, design regulations. While there is a study and understanding of physical phenomena linked to a seismic event in general, such as wave propagation in various media, dynamic response of building materials and soil deposits; there are typical aspects of each area that can magnify the impact that an earthquake has on a population.
