Abstract:
Torre Koi, a mixed-use, 279 m (915 ft) high skyscraper in an exclusive area of San Pedro Garza Garcia, Monterrey, is currently the tallest building in Mexico. The structural design of Torre Koi was based on a combination of wind load and seismic effects. Various documents and codes on seismic design, published in Mexico as well as the United States, were consulted.
