Architect Adrian Smith abstracted the design from six petals of a flower to three, and this forms the basis of the design layout throughout the skyscraper. The central core emerges at the top and culminates in a sculpted spire that measures over 200 m in height, securing Burj Khalifa\u2019s position as the world\u2019s tallest structure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_Engineering_Maestro\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Engineering Maestro<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SqFx0cBR0oo\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SOM\u2019s engineers developed innovative strategies to meet the unique challenges of a skyscraper. The simple Y-shaped plan reduces wind forces and fosters constructability. The indigenous design and impressive construction are feasts for architectural lovers. The structural system can be described as a \u201cbuttressed core\u201d. Each wing of the tower, with its own high-performance concrete core and perimeter columns, buttresses the others via a six-sided central core or hexagonal hub. Therefore, the result is a tower that is stiff laterally and torsionally. Designers applied a rigorous geometry to the Burj Khalifa that aligned all the common central core and column elements to form the insane structure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Fun Fact<\/strong> &#8211; <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><i>Do you know how much concrete was used in making this structure? <\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The combined weight of one million elephants would be equal to the weight of the concrete used approx. 110,000 tons of concrete and 55,000 of steel rebar went into making this massive building.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stepped_Design_that_Confuses_the_Wind\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stepped Design that \u2018Confuses the Wind\u2019<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The world\u2019s tallest building, <\/span>Burj Khalifa\u2019s<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stepped design with 27 setbacks or tiers spiralling up its height is not only aesthetically elegant but also plays a vital role in reducing the wind forces on the tower as it was a quite challenge when building a skyscraper of this size.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stepped-Design-that-\u2018Confuses-the-Wind.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3619\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stepped-Design-that-\u2018Confuses-the-Wind.jpg\" alt=\"Stepped Design that \u2018Confuses the Wind\u2019\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stepped-Design-that-\u2018Confuses-the-Wind.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stepped-Design-that-\u2018Confuses-the-Wind-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Stepped-Design-that-\u2018Confuses-the-Wind-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The setbacks are organised, in conjunction with the tower\u2019s grid, such that the building stepping is accomplished by aligning columns above with walls below to provide a smooth load path.
