skyscrapers

Description
Burj Khalifa, the tallest man-made building
in human history, standing at 828m, is
certainly a beautiful piece of artwork,
combined with the precision in mathematics
and engineering.
Different from other skyscrapers,
Burj Khalifa is characterised by an entirely
distinctive facade, with a pointed spire on
the top of the building, accompanied by 26
helical levels. Viewed from above, the
building itself can be easily distinguished by
the special Y-shape of its cross-sections,
with the curves at each ends symbolising
the onion domes – an essential element in
Islamic architecture.

Flower shape  The architecture features a triple-lobed

footprint, an abstraction of a desert flower
named Hymenocallis.
 The tower is composed of three elements
arranged around a central core.
 Twenty-six helical levels decrease the cross
section of the tower incrementally as it
spirals skyward.
 A Y-shaped floor plan maximizes views of
the Arabian Gulf. Viewed from the base or

The advantages of the tower shape design

The advantages :
 Foundation : The modular, Y-shaped structure,
with setbacks along each of its three wings
provides an inherently stable configuration for the
structure and provides good floor plates for
residential.
 Usage : The Y-shaped plan is ideal for residential
and hotel usage, with the wings allowing maximum
outward views and inward natural light.
 Nature : Gradient spiral design hinders the swirling

reducing the floor plan along the height,
thus effectively tapering the building profile.
Using the building shapes to introduce

of the tower, including the pinnacle, to
reduce the dynamic wind excitations.
Change the orientation of the tower in
response to wind directionality, thus
stiffening the structure normal to the worst
wind direction.
The consideration loads on the tower

Over 40 wind tunnel tests were conducted

on Burj Dubai to examine the effects the
wind would have on the tower and its
occupants.
These ranged from initial tests to verify the
wind climate of Dubai, to large structural
analysis models and facade pressure tests,
to micro-climate analysis of the effects at
terraces and around the tower base

 Cladding Pressure Testing
Cladding system in general

Cladding system : curtain wall

Cladding material : Stainless Steel  The exterior cladding is comprised of
reflective glazing with aluminum and
textured stainless steel spandrel panels
and stainless steel vertical tubular fins.
 Close to 26,000 glass panels, each
individually hand-cut, were used in the
exterior cladding of Burj Khalifa.
 Over 300 cladding specialists from China
were brought in for the cladding work on
the tower.
 The cladding system is designed to
withstand Dubai's extreme summer heat,
and to further ensure its integrity, a World
War II airplane engine was used for
dynamic wind and water testing.
 The curtain wall of Burj Khalifa is
equivalent to 17 football (soccer) fields or
25 American football fields.

Cladding pressure testing

 A 1:500 scale cladding pressure taps .
 The location of each tap was determined and
agreed in consultation between SOM and the
RWDI engineers.
 The model was placed on a turntable in the
wind tunnel.
 The tunnel was configured with the existing
surrounding buildings , then the tunnel was
configured with the surrounding buildings of
the future development in place.
 Measurements were taken for 36 wind
direction spaced 10 degrees apart .
 The measured data is converted into pressure
coefficients based on the measured mean
dynamic pressure of the wind above the
boundary layer .
 The statistical data of the local wind climate
accounts for the variable extreme wind speeds

Concrete mix for the piles had 25% fly ash
and 7% silica fume.

of each pile is 3000 tonnes.
The piles were made high density, low

constructed in four separate pours totaling
12,500 cubic meters of concrete

The wings set back to provide many different

floor plates.
The setbacks are organized with the tower’s
grid, such that the building stepping is
accomplished by aligning columns above with
walls below to provide a smooth load path. As
Stage 5 such, the tower does not contain any structural
transfers.
These setbacks also have the advantage of
providing a different width to the tower for
each differing floor plate.

The crowning touch of Burj Khalifa is its

telescopic spire comprised of more than 4,000
tons of structural steel.
The spire was constructed from inside the
building and jacked to its full height of over
200 meters (700 feet) using a hydraulic pump.
Stage 6 In addition to securing Burj Khalifa's place as
the world's tallest structure, the spire is
integral to the overall design, creating a sense
of completion for the landmark.
The spire also houses communications
equipment.

Composite Link Beams

In addition to connecting the vertical core wall
elements rigidly for maximum strength and stiffness for
the lateral load resisting system, the link beams are
also used as means of transferring and equalizing the
gravity loads between the vertical members (core-wall
elements and nose columns).
This equalizes stresses and strains between the
members
Because the link beams are subject to large shears
and bending moments, many of the link beams had to
be composite (steel members encased in high strength
concrete).

Building displacements at level 160M3
Wind profile along the building height at most balcony areas, including wind speed &
