Resumen:

This paper presents recent advances in the geotechnical characterization of Mexico City subsoil based on a Geographic Information System for Geotechnical Borings (GIS-GB) that includes more than 7,000 soil profiles. Geostatistical techniques were used to define 2D and 3D models of the subsoil. Contours of layers thickness, as well as index and mechanical properties in the area were also obtained. The maps that have been established have been used in order to update the geotechnical zoning presented in Mexico City Building Code. © 2009 IOS Press.
