Engineering the World’s Tallest–Burj Dubai
William F Baker, D Stanton Korista, Lawrence C Novak
The goal of the Burj Dubai Tower is not simply to be the world’s highest building; it’s to embody the world’s highest aspirations. The superstructure is currently under construction and as of fall 2007 has reached over 150 stories. The final height of the building is a “well-guarded secret”. The height of the multi-use skyscraper will “comfortably” exceed the current record holder, the 509 meter (1671 ft) tall Taipei 101. The 280,000 m2 (3,000,000 ft2) reinforced concrete multi-use Burj Dubai tower is utilized for retail, a Giorgio Armani Hotel, residential and office. As with all super-tall projects, difficult structural engineering problems needed to be addressed and resolved. This paper presents the structural system for the Burj Dubai Tower.
