Development of Structural Health Monitoring Software System of Shanghai Center Tower

Shanghai Center Tower is the tallest skyscraper under construction in China with the height of 642 meters. In order to reflect the real structural status of Shanghai Center Tower during the construction period and running period in three dimensional graphics, a Structural Health Monitoring Software System (SHMSS) is developed. The CAE software system consists of three function modules such as Modeling module, Data Management module, Post-Processing module. The Modeling module could build a 3D model confirming to the real Shanghai Center Tower based on the Building Information Modeling (BIM) concept; the Data Management module could access the engineering data produced by the sensors; then in the Post -Processing module, various data about the Shanghai Center Tower could be processed and structural parameters such as member force, displacement, wind pressure would be displayed in the 3D model.
