dc.description.abstract | In 1993 Shimizu Corporation provided the opportunity to record manually readings of stress and
strain gauges they had embedded at the 18th storey of a 65-storey office tower under construction
in Singapore. Static readings continued during construction and long after, and capitalising on
access to the building and assistance of both contractor and owner, monitoring systems for
tracking wind, acceleration and deflection were installed and progressively upgraded. Further, a
comprehensive ambient vibration survey and finite element model updating exercise provided a
thoroughly validated analytical model of the structure. This model has been used in parallel with
the analog wind and tremor ‘super-sensor’ of the building itself to provide direct evidence and
characterization of the seismic and wind loadings on the building. This paper describes the
evolution of the monitoring system and its capabilities together with some of the insights the
system provided into structural and loading mechanisms during its operational life until early
2005.. | en_GB |
