It is shown that the RTK-GPS can be used for monitoring the displacement response of high-rise buildings in real-time. First, the applicability of the system is checked using test specimen, which can simulate high-rise buildings. Then, the system is simultaneously applied to two super-high-rise buildings during a windy day. It is concluded that although the dynamic response of the towers is not well tracked because of low amplitude of dynamic vibration, the long period displacement is observed. Such information can be used to track the behavior of the adjacent high-rise buildings for external loads.
