356m Tall Skyscraper Shaking Again, Monitoring Data released, analysis of the causes of shaking

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.
