Abstract
This project has undertaken a systematic investigation of the performance of glass in buildings during the 19 September 1985 Mexico earthquake. The project will: characterized the amount and type of glass damage resulting from the earthquake; delineate relationships between certain physical characteristics of the buildings investigated (glazing system, connections, building structural system, building response) and the amount of glass damage; document selected case studies in detail; and make recommendations for mitigating glass damage. The project is divided into four phases of data collection, data analysis, detailed analysis, and recommendations. Findings to date are summarized.
