The project is in the

residential towers (T100, T200

parking lot. The T100 Tower
has the parking at the
basement plus two
commercial areas, a lobby and
21 levels. The structural
scheme for the T100 and T200
towers is similar using walls

aspect for this project is that
the concrete walls are only on

T h i s p ro j e c t c a l l e d “ C a s i n o
Mubarack” started in year 2000
and it was the first building in
Peru equipped with energy
dissipation devices. In this case
the devices were manufactured
by the multinational German
company GERB. Open spaces
and minimum weight were
achieved by using “Tridilosas”
and uncoupled concrete walls in
the building corners.
Mixed Reticular Slabs
The "Tridilosa" is Eng. Heberto Castillo invent that combines a spatial steel truss and one or
two concrete membranes on top and bottom layers ideally providing concrete on
compression areas and steel in tension areas. Certainly it should be recognise as one of the
most important Mexican contributions to global engineering. The basic idea is minimise
concrete volume avoiding all near the “neutral axis”. This great system allows long span
roofs with minimum self weight (only about 200kg/m2 for 10m x 10m spans). It was
adopted and expanded in Peru from the ’60 by Eng. Miguel Bozzo and our company
DIRACSA designed and built many structural typologies such as arches, domes, and
Vierendell beams, among others.
Our global contribution was to provide numerical finite element techniques to analyse
and design such complex structures as far as in 1985 being in those day global leaders in
applying finite element techniques to long and complex slabs.
