The Structural Design of The World's Tallest Structure:The Burj Dubai Tower

摘要

The design of supertall buildings is typically governed by their interaction with lateral winds andgravity loads. Selection of the building shaping and structural system can greatly affect the windand gravity behavior of the structure. This paper will consider the case study of the Burj DubaiTower to demonstrate the design process and philosophy utilized in the design of supertallbuildings.
