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.
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.
