-THE BITCOIN ISLAND LIFE-

This building, located on Ignacio Allende Street in the Tlatelolco district of Mexico City, has impressed millions online with its earthquake-resistant reinforcement, which has become a model taught in engineering schools.

After the devastating earthquake that struck Mexico City on September 19, 2017, which led to the collapse of several buildings in the capital, this building underwent thorough structural inspections, which revealed structural weaknesses resulting from severe vibrations. Although it did not collapse, the damage was sufficient to prompt engineers to take urgent action to enhance its safety.

An innovative external reinforcement system was implemented using massive steel beams, shown in blue, in an X-shape, covering the entire facade. This system, known as Exoskeleton Reinforcement, absorbs seismic forces and distributes them throughout the structure more effectively, without requiring the evacuation of residents or compromising the building's functionality.

The engineering used here represents a successful combination of advanced technical solutions and maintaining continuity of use. This experience has become a model for designing and strengthening buildings in seismically active areas.
