This paper introduces a displacement-based methodology for the performance-based design of a system of unbonded braces and the structure that receives it. The methodology applies to the case of low height structures, whose behavior is not significantly influenced by global flexural behavior. The methodology is applied to the seismic design of a five-story building located in the Lake Zone of Mexico City. From the evaluation of the global mechanical characteristics of the building and of its seismic performance when subjected to ground motions generated in that zone, it is concluded that the proposed methodology yields an adequate level of seismic design.
