The document provides details about the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai. It is the tallest building in the world at 828 meters tall. Construction began in 2004 and was completed in 2009. Some key facts are that EMAAR Properties invested $1.5 billion in the tower's construction. It was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and has 163 floors plus additional parking and spire levels. The tower uses a reinforced concrete structure from the foundation up to floor 156 and then a steel structure for the rest of the spire.

• Burj Khalifa (formally Dubai) is the new tallest
tower in the world. • Construction began on 21 September 2004 & completed on 1 October 2009. • The building was officially opened on 4 January 2010 • Height of the Tower is 828m . • It’s Owner is EMAAR Properties with total investments of US$ 1.5 billion. • The tower is designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) • Adrian smith was chief architect. Architectural Concept The context of the Burj Dubai being located in the city of Dubai, UAE, drove the inspiration for the building form to incorporate cultural and historical particular to the region. The influences of the Middle Eastern domes and pointed arches in traditional buildings, spiral imagery in Middle Eastern architecture, resulted in the tri-axial shape of the building Architecture Pinnacle

Main Structure & Design The tower superstructure of Burj Dubai is designed as an all reinforced concrete building with high performance concrete from the foundation level to level 156, and is topped with a structural steel braced frame from level 156 to the pinnacle. Designers purposely shaped the structural concrete Burj Dubai – “Y” shaped in plan – to reduce the wind forces on the tower, as well as to keep the structure simple and foster constructability. The structural system can be described as a “buttressed” core. Each wing, with its own high performance concrete corridor walls and perimeter columns, buttresses the others via a six-sided central core, or hexagonal hub Main Structure & Design Structural Analysis & Design The structure was analyzed for gravity (including P-Delta analysis), wind, and seismic loadings by ETABS version 8.4 . The three-dimensional analysis model consisted of the reinforced concrete walls, link beams, slabs, raft, piles, and the spire structural steel system. The full 3D analysis model consisted of over73,500 shells and 75,000 nodes Structural Analysis & Design Design Code The reinforced concrete structure was designed in accordance with the requirements of ACI 318-02 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete. Structural Analysis & Design Dynamic Analysis • The dynamic analysis indicated the first mode is lateral sidesway with a period of 11.3 seconds . • The second mode is a perpendicular lateral sidesway with a period of 10.2 seconds. • Torsion is the fifth mode with a period of 4.3 seconds Variation of Wind Velocity with Height
The viscosity of air
reduces its velocity adjacent to the earth’s surface to almost zero. Foundations Piles The Tower raft is supported by 194 boredcast-in- place piles 1.5m diameter and 47.45m long with the tower raft founded at -7.55m The C60 (cube strength) SCC concrete was placed by the tremie method utilizing polymer slurry. When the rebar cage was placed in the piles, special attention was paid to orient the rebar cage such that the raft bottom rebar could be threaded through the numerous pile rebar cages without interruption, which greatly simplified the raft construction.
