- Abstract
A displacement-based methodology for the preliminary design of a system of buckling-restrained braces is introduced. The methodology applies to the case of tall buildings, whose dynamic response is significantly influenced by global flexural drift mode and higher modes. The methodology is applied to the preliminary design of a 24-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, it is concluded that the proposed methodology yields tall buildings that adequately satisfy predefined deterministic performance levels.
