Abstract: |
The Torre Bosque de Chapultepec is a high-rise building located in the hill zone, which is characterised by high-strength volcanic soils. It is one of the few examples of the use of an unbonded post-tensioned floor system in a multi-story building located in a high seismic zone. Seismic design was the primary issue for this building and followed the Mexico City Building Code. |
