  In May of this year, the Shenzhen SEG Plaza Building experienced a sense of vibration that caused concern.

After more than a month of intense construction, the mast of the SEG Plaza Building was successfully demolished. The building structure has been determined to be safe according to scientific procedures, and the risk of perceived vibration has been eliminated.

The podium and tower of the building will resume operations on September 8.

The reporter saw at the gate of the SEG Electronics Market of the SEG Building that many merchants have successively moved electronic accessories, chips, computers and other related products back to the SEG Electronics Market of the SEG Building.

  A merchant surnamed Qiu who has been engaged in electronic wholesale for 13 years is walking to the SEG Electronics Market with electronic accessories and packaging boxes.

In an interview, he said that after receiving a notice on the evening of the 7th that the podium and towers of the Shenzhen SEG Plaza Building would resume operations, he decided to move back the goods early in the morning on the 8th.

  In the hot afternoon, even though his head was sweating profusely, the merchant surnamed Qiu still had a smile on his face.

He said: "Now many merchants are constantly moving their goods back to the electronic market. The flow of people is good today, and there should be more people starting tomorrow. The building is now in a safe state, so you can rest assured. Business is booming."

  Earlier, after the building experienced a sense of vibration, the expert team said that by removing the mast, the problem of sensed vibration of the SEG Plaza Building could be effectively solved.

It is reported that the mast removal project was implemented on August 9, and the last section of the mast was removed on the evening of August 21.

In 13 days, workers dismantled the 51.2-meter-high mast and weighed 236 tons.

  According to the expert group, the reason for the sensed vibration of the SEG Plaza Building is that the wind-induced vortex-induced resonance of the mast drives the structural vibration of the building, and the coupling between the building structure and the dynamic characteristics of the mast.

At present, the removal of the mast has eliminated the key source of resonance of the building, and the repair of accumulated damage has also improved the dynamic characteristics of the structure. Under the design load and normal use, the building will no longer produce sensible vibrations similar to those that occurred in May. .

  On the same day, with a truck full of chip goods, a merchant surnamed Liu was waiting for the goods to be moved to the upper floors of the building at the bottom of the SEG Plaza Building.

He said that at present, moving goods into the building still needs to be carried out in different regions and in batches, and high-level merchants may have to wait until the evening to load the goods.

  A merchant surnamed Liu said: “After the building’s emotional vibration, we temporarily chose a location outside to work. During the period of moving away, the building’s landlord also waived the rent for us.”

  The relevant person in charge of the SEG Group stated that the group will entrust a professional organization to formulate a specific implementation plan to carry out long-term health monitoring of the building. (over)
