THE NEW GUIDELINES FOR THE SEISMIC DESIGN OF BASE ISOLATED STRUCTURES IN MEXICO
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. This new version of MOC incorporates guidelines for the seismic design of base-isolated structures, being the first Mexican code to include such recommendations. This paper summarizes the most relevant aspects of these guidelines, their relations to other guidelines worldwide and research efforts conducted in Mexico and worldwide to improve the seismic design of base-isolated structures.
