Abstract:Deformation monitoring of urban high buildings is the periodic settlement observation from the period of construction, completion to stable phase. Its purpose is to guide the rational construction process, preventing uneven settlement, and avoiding damage and huge economic losses caused by the settlement. In this paper, datum marks of settlement observation, layout of observation points, observation methods, observation instruments, calculation software and observation precision are introduced. Combining with contour map, floor load time and settlement curve, deformed settlement analysis of building base is carried out, the reasons which caused uneven settlement are analyzed, and countermeasures for preventing and soluting the above problems are put forward as well.
