GNSS Monitoring Scrapes the Sky

摘要

The supertall skyscraper Lotte World Tower - so far built to the 103rd of 123 total floors in Seoul, South Korea - is using GNSS to measure the impact of lateral forces on its vertical alignment. Lotte World Tower will be Seoul's first supertall skyscraper, the tallest building on the Korean Peninsula and the sixth-tallest building in the world at 1,821 feet (555 meters). "Lotte World Tower is the nation's first building to use both a GNSS and structural behavior monitoring system by inclinometer at the same time," said Park Hong-ki of Gachon University's Civil and Environmental Engineering Department.
