NOVA San Ángel
Project description
NOVA San Ángel is a luxury apartment building was built in the densely populated San Ángel district of Mexico City, with seven basement levels and 22 levels above ground.
It was originally designed with a steel structure, but due to a significant increase in steel costs it was redesigned with a reinforced concrete frame.
This change necessitated the provision of a seismic isolation system to protect the concrete structure from the ground movements that can arise during earthquakes in Mexico City.
mageba scope
The project required the design and fabrication of 28 LASTO-LRB lead rubber bearings and 8 RESTON-SLIDERS, with prototype testing and factory production control testing carried out before installation.
The LASTO-LRB lead rubber bearings were designed for vertical loads of up to
18,700 KN and displacements of 275 mm, while the supplied RESTON-SLIDER bearings were designed for the same displacements but much lower loads.

The RESTON-SLIDER bearing is designed for the same displacements as the LASTO-LRB, but much lower loads
