SEISMIC VULNERABILITY OF MERCADO SANTA ANITA METRO STATION

Mercato Santa Anita Metro Station

The first step of the evaluation of the  seismic vulnerability of the new Lime Metro line 2 is the study of the seismic behaviour  of the metro stations included in the Phase 1A, in particular of the Mercado  Santa Anita Metro Station. In this area, as mentioned before, the groundwater  is not present. The investigations around this area have shown the sequence of  four lithological units having different geomechanical  characteristics (Table C).
