Design and Development : It was the government of Dubai made the decision to build a world's tallest building, the intentions of building Burj Khalifa are various and listed below: 1. Dubai wants to make the tourism the emirate's second industry to lighten the reliance on Oil trade.
Building a tower that size can greatly improve the identity of city and its reputation in the world, and to capture the attention of the world. Bring the title of World's Tallest Building back to Middle East as Khufu Pyramid had ever been the tallest building of the world for more than years. The ruler of Dubai once said in twitter that the idea of building the Burj Khalifa was inspired by a visit to Empire State Building in New York City many decades ago in s, Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world by that time, the ruler got deeply inspired by it and generated the idea of a tallest building in his homeland.
The tower is built on a shamrock-shaped footprint, making the tower seen like a letter 'Y' from above in the air, this shape derived from Hymenocallis, also known as desert lily, a local plant live in desert, the tower's cross section area reduces gradually as it rises. This shape in the one hand is for the stability of the building, the Jeddah Tower which currently under construction is also based on this shape and the shape can also be found on other structures such as CN Tower, Wuhan Greenland Center and Russia Tower cancelled.
On the other hand, this sort of shape is more suitable for the hotels and residences, in which the scenery from the outdoor should be highly concerned, the Y-shape design can provide the people living in it with views to the greatest extent, that is why the lower portion that below the level where the Y-shape is more apparent is used for hotels and residences and the upper portion where the Y-shape has almost transformed to circular is occupied by offices, where people working there are supposed to concentrate their focus on their work not the scenery.
Burj Khalifa was developed by Emaar Properties, a renowned local real estate firm that has also developed many other skyscrapers in Dubai and now they are working on next tallest structure of the world which temporarily named 'Dubai Creek Tower'. The construction of Burj Khalifa was contracted by Samsung Construction, a subsidiary of Samsung Group, the group is best known for its electronic products and in respect of construction it had also constructed many famous buildings around the world including Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur and Taipei Tower in Taipei.
The construction began in , the building started rising in March After that Burj Khalifa grew very fast, below is how it looked in February The building had become a floor highrise building from a Y-shape base structure in less than one year.
As the building tapers into the sky, the construction became faster when the building built to higher floors. As of January , the tower had become an imposing supertall skyscraper that has more than one hundred floors built.
And one month later it became the building with most floors on the earth. 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. Twenty-six helical levels decrease the cross-section of the tower incrementally as it spirals skyward.
The central core emerges at the top and culminates in a sculpted spire. A Y-shaped floor plan maximizes views of the Arabian Gulf. Viewed from the base or the air, Burj Khalifa is evocative of the onion domes prevalent in Islamic architecture. Over 40 wind tunnel tests were conducted on Burj Khalifa 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. Even the temporary conditions during the construction stage were tested with the tower cranes on the tower to ensure safety at all times. Stack effect or chimney effect is a phenomenon that affects super-tall building design and arises from the changes in pressure and temperature with height.
Special studies were carried on Burj Khalifa to determine the magnitude of the changes that would have to be dealt with in the building design.
Concourse level to level 8 and level 38 and 39 will feature the Armani Hotel Dubai. Levels 9 to 16 will exclusively house luxurious one and two-bedroom Armani Residences. Floors 45 through are private ultra-luxury residences.
The Corporate Suites occupy most of the remaining floors, except for level which houses At.
