چکیده
The Burj Dubai Project will be the tallest structure ever built by man; when completed the tower will be more than 700 meters tall and more than 160 floors. The early integration of aerodynamic shaping and wind engineering considerations played a major role in the architectural massing and design of this residential tower, where mitigating and taming the dynamic wind effects was one of the most important design criteria. While the focus of this paper will be on the construction planning of the tower, this paper will briefly present an overview of the structural system of the tower’s design and construction, which are integrated from the early design concept.
