I. INTRODUCTION
The Mexican territory is one of the world's most active
geological zones, called the Ring of Fire, one of the most Figure 1. System faults, fault system-SFCHT.
important world subduction zones causing intense seismic and
volcanic activity. (1)
They lie in the area several tectonic plates, which are in
permanent friction and hence in strain accumulation. When the
tension is released, it causes a large amount of seismic energy
reflected in intense earthquakes and volcanic activity. (2)
It is therefore vitally important for the Mexican engineering,
systems implementation seismic energy release in geologically
active areas; to avoid terrible tragedies that can happen at any
time as what happened on September 19, 2017 in various states
of the republic.
II. SEISMIC ACTIVITY IN QUERÉTARO
A. SYSTEM FAILURES
Currently the Valley of Queretaro is located at the intersection
of two sets of potentially active regional faults, north-northwest

There are different based on frictional dissipation devices.
Pall and Marsh (1982) propose a system to be located at the
intersection of a bracing X. Its hysteretic curves are almost
rectangular with which the energy dissipated per cycle is
maximum for a given value of the sliding force. The mechanism
