September 19, 19857:19 am
The complete seismic event consisted of four quakes. A pre-event quake of magnitude 5.2 occurred on 28 May 1985. The main and most powerful shock occurred 19 September, followed by two aftershocks: one on 20 September 1985 of magnitude 7.5 and the fourth occurring seven months later on 30 April 1986 of magnitude 7.0.

An 8.1 magnitude earthquake hits Mexico City, Mexico.

The earthquake shook the buildings in Mexico City for a total of three horrifying minutes.

Thirty six hours later a 7.5 magnitude earthquake hits
the city again.

The epicenter was later located 50 km (approximately 31 miles) off the coast of Mexico.

Historic seismic activity in this region causes Mexico to experience about five times as many major earthquakes as California, with greater frequency
of recurrence.

Mexico City is built partially on alluvial lake deposits that average from 100 – 150 feet thick.

100-150’Building Structures
Weak soil deposits
Because of the long duration of shaking, deep soil deposits were excited resulting in amplified ground movement.

At some location of Mexico City where most of the damages are found, soil deposits extend to about 7500 ft (2300 m).
Therefore, earthquake vibrations in this areas of Mexico city were catastrophically amplified.

The Cocos Plate made one of its all too frequent downward movements.
This time a 200 km long front, inclined 18 degrees east, thrust downward and eastward about 2.3 m in two distinct jerks about 26 sec apart.

Collapsed Floors Punctured by Load-Bearing Column
Severe resonance oscillations of the buildings caused strain at the juncture between columns and ceiling slabs. The vertical columns were punched through the heavy floors that collapsed around them.

High Rise Building
This building twisted excessively in the earthquake, forming the X-shaped cracks.
The earthquake subjected the building to shear, bending, tensional forces, and compression.
The formation of the X-shaped cracks is evidence the energy from the earthquake dissipated in the shear walls.

Liquefaction Mexico City is a very dangerous in terms of its local geology. It is currently sitting on a 800 meter (2625 ft) lake bed made up of silt and volcanic clays that create two problems that must be address here.
Liquefaction is a type of ground failure in which water saturated sediment turns from a solid to a liquid as a result of shaking, often caused by an earthquake or even a volcanic eruption.
The intense shaking causes the strength of the soil to become weak and the sand and water begin to flow.

Revisions to the building codes such as: More Funding for researching dynamic behavior of
soil deposits Strict evaluation of lateral force design coefficients,
story drifts, and change of natural period of vibration due earthquake induced structural decay
Improve Emergency Operations: Emergency Operations should be clear with respect
to rescue Shelter for the homeless Lifeline recovery and infrastructure repair Deployment of volunteer rescue support and forces
need to maintain order Use of rescue equipment trainings
Impose a more strict licensing control of professional registration for Engineers and Scientists.

The amplitude of the shaking increases up the building
Building with long axes perpendicular to ground motion suffer more shaking
Building with different heights sway at different frequencies and bank into each other
A building with different height tend to break apart

Contained at least 20 sustained cycles of vibrations with a dominant period of about 2 seconds.
Ground accelerations ranged from 5 – 20% of gravity in a period range of 1.5 and 3 seconds.
