  • On May 20th, Shenzhen's third tallest skyscraper, the 356 meters tall SEG Plaza, shook once again for the third time after similar shaking on the 18th and 19th.
    On the same day, a number of SEG Plaza merchants said that around 12:30pm, the 35th, 55th, 60th and many other floors felt shaking, and security guards have informed merchants on higher floors to evacuate.
    There is also a video uploaded by netizens showing a number of large trucks carrying building materials into SEG Plaza. Various construction materials are also piled up on the ground floor of the building.
    The group said that according to the test data, everything is normal and do not exceed the corresponding limitations.
    Some netizens called into question the causes of shaking given by the experts. So why didn’t it shake before?
    The construction quality of SEG Plaza has since become a hot topic of discussion.
    SEG Plaza was given all kinds of praise by Chinese officials at the time. However, a 20-year-old master's thesis from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, titled "Shenzhen SEG Plaza Construction Project Review" was dug up in the past two days and became viral on the Internet, referred to as "divine prophecy" by Chinese netizens.
    The author of the paper pointed out some shortcomings in the construction process. For example, modifying the design while construction was underway, designing after construction, and starting construction before the design drawings were done.
    The recent developments of SEG Plaza’s shaking incident have caused people to think about China's other super high-rise buildings.
    According to statistics, China has 40% of the world's high-rise buildings, including 2395 buildings above 150 meters, 823 buildings above 200 meters, and 95 buildings above 300 meters, all three numbers rank first in the world.
    Some industry insiders analyze that SEG Plaza is a typical example of China's large-scale construction projects, and quality problems are certain. Large-scale construction projects in China have 5 characteristics.

      I did the vibration research before (on industrial centrifuges), although not on the building, the basic concept is the same. Before the building foundation is solid, now you have trains running under the building, so the foundation is not as solid as before, this will change the natural frequency of the building, ...., my suggestion is to put grand pianos in each room of each level, adjust the mass of the building, this way the natural frequency of the building will also be changed, hence, the shaking should be eliminated.

      The building isn't coming down due to resonance oscillation, as such vibrations are common in supertall buildings, and can be managed (for occupant comfort) with solutions like a tuned mass dampening system (we have buildings in NYC, such as the 436m 111w 57th street and the 425m 432 Park Avenue, that due to their supertall status combined with extremely narrow footprint, require tuned mass dampeners for occupant comfort; you can watch 432 Park's dampener in action on the 99th floor at ruclips.net/video/QJXThNHexJc/видео.html ).
      Every integrative structure (especially those that are Khan style tube-structure skyscrapers) has a primary natural frequency that, under the right circumstances, will resonate (vibrate) which can then setup secondary oscillations through other parts of the structure. During design and construction, these types of issues are factored in and addressed through structural tweaks, mass dampening, stiffeners, and other solutions, so that the finished building doesn't exhibit significant unsettling vibrations (keep in mind, these building are designed to move and flex in significant fashion - and modern all-concrete supertall structures, such as 432 park, are no exception).
      The reason this building is in potentially serious trouble is that the sudden appearance of these oscillations, after 20 years, is indicative of a significant structural state change. IMHO, this is a warning sign that energy management and load dispersal mechanics of the building have very abruptly shifted, and my guess would be that the foundation is the culprit. The building materials, going in, look like they are setting up framing to do reinforcing concrete pours for the substructure, which would further indicate that the foundation is suffering from some sort of structural deficiency. Just based on this video, a lot of irregularities seem to exist in how this building was built, so the engineers are going to have to account for a lot of variables that could prove difficult to verifiably quantify.
      The biggest problem is that, if these are foundational issues, they are particularly tricky to remediate, primarily because the failure mode can be easily misdiagnosed. Factor in that this building was a vanity project for the CCP, the potential pressure to just implement some fix that addresses the symptom (the oscillations) and not the core issue (that something has changed to allowing excitation of noticeable oscillations) and you have a real potential for a future disaster.

The pit flooded and after months of pumping there was no drop in the water level so the contractor filled the pit with sand till the level of the water was reached. then he poured a lightly reinforced slab about 1 meter thick (NO pilings) and built the 32 floor building on top of the slab. there was no compaction of the fill.

      Modular design of tall buildings reduces human errors or shortfalls in components installation. Components such as Steel bars/cages, steel frames are prefabricated and even concrete batching are done computer aided in the plant/ factory and later assemble on site. Comments of shoddy wormanships, trimming corners etc are irrelevant nowadays. Hope you are enlightened to the rapid advance in building technology.
