Abstract:An extensive literature review has been carried out on the differential shortening measurement and behaviour of columns and cores in tall buildings. This covers various assessment methods for determining different types of shortening including: time dependent and seasonal reversible influences, instrumentation techniques required to acquire field data, and correction measures undertaken to overcome differential shortening in actual structures. Also presented is a comparison of predicted and measured axial shortening of a particular column in an 80-storey building currently under construction in Australia.
