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 height of the multi-use skyscraper will "comfortably" exceed the current record holder, the 509 meter tall Taipei 101. The 208,000 sq. meter reinforced concrete multi-use Burj Dubai tower is ultilized for retail, a Giorgio Armani Hotel, residential and office.
As with super-tall projects, difficult structural engineering problems needed to be addressed and resolved. The link provided presents the structural system of the famous "Burj dubai Tower" in dubai, U.A.E.
