It is the aim of this paper to describe the most important techniques that are being used in Mexico City to retrofit buildings damaged during the 1985 earthquake. The information is presented by means of four case studies. These cases offer practical design examples of the typical solutions adopted and illustrate the various aspects of the repair and strengthening process such as damage assessment, emergency measures for temporary protection, the retrofitting technique employed in each case and considerations and decisions made in the analysis and design.
