The lateral performance of the main structure of core-tube suspended vibration absorption system is analyzed. The results show that the lateral displacement when considering coupling effect will possibly be twice as that without coupling effect consideration while the overturning moment almost keeps the constant value. When the first order frequency 1 of the suspended system is invariant,the displacement amplitude of the structure is affected remarkably by the damping ratio 1 of the superstructure and the stimulation frequency ratio . The nominal height-to-width ratios of the main structure of hexagonal core-tube suspended vibration absorption system under different seismic fortification intensities are derived. In the 9-degree seismic zone the height-to-width ratio is small,so the single-core-tube suspended building is not preferred,but other types of suspended system,for example,the mega-frame suspended system,can be slected.
