The article presents the results of studies the buildings suspended type in seismic areas. The study contains a comparative analysis of various constructive schemes. Then it was revealed the best option and made a trial design of a suspended type of building. Calculations were performed in software and computing complex SOFiSTiK, based on the finite element method. The study showed that the use of suspension systems can significantly reduce the load on the building structure of the seismic action. Suspended buildings have both advantages and some of the features that complicate its construction.
