    This research project presents a comparative analysis of the seismic performance of a special building located in Ambato, utilizing Special Moment Frames (SMF) and Buckling-Restrained Braces (BRB). The main objective of the study is to evaluate the structural performance in terms of strength, capacity, stiffness, and nonlinear behavior under seismic loading. The proposed design for the steel structure incorporates BRB frames, aimed at minimizing deformations induced by seismic events. These systems utilize braces with ductile cores and replaceable assemblies, which enable efficient energy dissipation. The applied methodology is based on international standards such as AISC 360, AISC 341, NEC 15, and ASCE 41-17, covering literature review, soil analysis, load estimation, nonlinear time history analysis, and unit cost comparison. The results show that BRB systems offer superior seismic performance compared to moment-resisting frames, without involving a significant increase in implementation costs. However, it is important to note that the findings of this research are specific to the soil and loading conditions of the analyzed structure; therefore, further studies are recommended for other types of buildings and geotechnical contexts.
