Reform tower
It has a Geometric design that allows you to absorb the strength of a tremor. In addition, it was provided with a diagonal bars set and a nodethe latter is a metal steel structure created to support earthquakes.
Was designed to support an earthquake of 8.5 degrees on the Richter scale.
BBVA Bancomer Executive Tower
This structure has a Flexible foundation and replaceable steel beams that cushion any seismic movement. In theory, an earthquake of great magnitude would generate deformations in its structure, but not its collapse.
In this case its foundations were placed to 52 meters below the ground.
Mayor Torre
Considered one of the safest modern buildings in Mexico, the main tower was designed to withstand earthquakes thanks to the use of 98 shock absorbers that allow you to reduce the structural effort to vibrations.
Has a base of 252 60 -meter deep concrete pillars in order to settle it in firm terrain.
The construction of the Latin American Tower More than 60 years ago, it showed that it is possible to build large skills in highly seismic areas such as the Mexican capital. Thanks to the engineering innovations that were implemented in its design and subsequent construction, supervised by the own Nathan M. NewmarkThey defined a new era in architecture and engineering.
