The widespread use of high-rise buildings was caused by the growing population of cities and the lack of land. As practice shows, the structural system of high-rise buildings with a load-bearing core is one of the most reliable. A variety of such buildings are buildings with suspended structures. This structural system has found application in many high-rise buildings around the world, including in seismically active areas. At the same time, such a constructive solution is rarely found in Russia. We have no recommendations on the use of this structural system, and there is also no information about the behavior of suspended structures with high seismic activity. The greatest interest in the study of buildings with a load-bearing core occurred in the 80s – 90s of the 20th century. It is worth mentioning a number of important advantages of the considered constructive system. First of all, these structures have significant flexibility, which leads to an increase in the natural period of oscillations and a decrease in the seismic load on the load-bearing elements. In some cases, suspended structures of buildings with a load-bearing core act as dynamic absorbers. This makes it possible to ensure the stability and reliability of the entire building without the use of special devices. This article presents the results of some studies conducted to use a structural system with a load-bearing core and suspended floors in seismic construction areas. Used Books:
