It is well-known that structures composed of super high-rise buildings accumulate damages gradually due to ultra-long loads, material aging, and component defects. Thus, the bearing capacity of the structures can be significantly decreased. In addition, these effects may cause inestimable life and property losses upon strong winds, earthquakes, and other heavy loads. Hence, it is necessary to develop real-time health monitoring methods for super high-rise buildings to deeply understand the running state during operation, timely discover potential safety potentials, and to provide reference data for reinforcement design. Along these lines, in this work, the built super high-rise buildings (Yunding Building) and super high-rise buildings (the Main Tower of the Shandong International Financial Center), under construction, were selected as the research objects. The overall dynamic deformation laws of super high-rise buildings were monitored by using ground-based real aperture radar (GB-RAR) technology for its advantages in non-contact measurement, remote monitoring, and real-time display of observation results. Denoising of the observation data was also carried out based on wavelet analysis. The visualization of the space state of the Yunding Building was realized based on handheld LiDAR technology. From the acquired results, it was demonstrated that the measuring accuracy of GB-RAR could reach the submillimeter level, while the noises under a natural state of wavelet analysis were eliminated well. The maximum deformation values of the Yunding Building and the Main Tower of Shandong International Financial Center under their natural state were 9.63 mm and 16.46 mm, respectively. Under sudden wind loads, the maximum deformation of the Yunding Building could be as high as 895.79 mm. The overall motion state switched between an S-shaped pattern, hyperbolic-type, and oblique line, presented the characteristics of nonlinear elastic deformation.

Dynamic deflection deformation is a crucial index which can reflect the healthy operation of bridges; due to their limitations, monitoring technologies (e.g., sensors, automatic total stations, and GPS) cannot perform high-frequency and whole-process non-contact dynamic deformation monitoring. Therefore, taking the Jinan Fenghuangshan Road Bridge as an example, this paper developed key low-cost and high-precision close-range photogrammetry technology and combined this with GB-RAR technology to remotely monitor bridge dynamic deformation. The results indicate that the measurement accuracy pertaining to the technology, which is based on an isometric virtual surface, is approximately 0.5 mm when the monitoring distance is 250 m, which can meet the accuracy requirements of bridge deformation monitoring. A vehicle’s dynamic load is transmitted in the form of a stress wave inside the bridge, and with regard to span, the wave is most significant in the 1/2 to 1/4 range. This study observes that the maximum deflection deformation of the bridge is 47.2 mm, which is within the allowable deformation range of the General Specifications for Design of Highway Bridges and Culverts. The research results herein provide technical support and data reference for safety monitoring, and for the reinforcement and maintenance of bridges such as the Fenghuangshan Road Bridge.
