The objective of this research is to investigate, jointly with a researcher from the University of Chihuahua, Mexico, the cause that led to a predominant type of failure during the 1985 earthquake in Mexico City characterized by the collapse of upper floors in reinforced concrete framed buildings. Based on the results of the study, possible deficiencies in the Mexican and U.S. codes are identified and alternative design recommendations are suggested.

本研究的目的是与墨西哥奇瓦瓦大学的一名研究人员合作，调查 1985 年墨西哥城地震期间导致钢筋混凝土框架建筑上层倒塌的主要破坏类型的原因。 根据研究结果，确定了墨西哥和美国规范中可能存在的缺陷，并提出了替代设计建议。
