Experimental and Analytical Studies of Promising Techniques for the Repair and Retrofitting of Buildings

本课题是一项实验与分析相结合的研究 维修和改造建筑物的项目， 1985年9月19日和20日，墨西哥地震。 一个 研究有前途的康复新技术 （维修和/或改造）位于区域内的现有建筑物 与墨西哥城的土壤条件相似。 比较分析这些有前途的技术沿着 开发和应用最有前途的康复 在墨西哥城和美国的特定建筑物， 现有建筑物的实际维修和改造准则， 供工程办公室和市政官员使用。

This project is an integrated experimental and analytical research project of repaired and retrofitted buildings that performed adequately during the September 19 and 20, 1985 Mexican earthquakes. An investigation of promising new techniques for the rehabilitation (repair and/or retrofitting) of existing buildings located in regions with soil conditions similar to those of Mexico City is conducted. Comparative analyses of these promising techniques along with development and application of the most promising to the rehabilitation of specific buildings in Mexico City and in the U.S. are made, and guidelines for practical repair and retrofitting of existing buildings, for use in engineering offices and by city officials are developed.
