UPDATED GUIDELINES FOR THE SEISMIC DESIGN OF BUILDINGS IN THE MOC-2008 CODE OF MEXICO

摘要：

The Manual of Civil Structures (MOC), a model design code in Mexico, is in an updating process. The new version for this code will be published at the end of 2008. A major update is performed in the chapter for the seismic design of building structures from the previous one that is dated back in 1993. This paper summarizes the most relevant changes of this building code and their relations to research efforts conducted in Mexico and worldwide to improve the seismic design of building structures. One goal was to make the guidelines as transparent as possible to users, so the design process will be clearer and enriching to structural engineers.
