Burj Khalifa
Burj Khalifa or "Khalifa Tower" (Arabic: برج خليفة) is a very tall skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and is the world's tallest man made building ever built. Before the building opened, it was called Burj Dubai. The building is 160 stories high. Construction of the tower was started in 2004. The building was officially opened on 4 January 2010.[1][2] It is the tallest structure made by humans in the world. The building is more than 300 metres (980 ft) taller than Taipei 101. Taipei 101 was the tallest building until 2010 before Burj Khalifa was built.
Adrian Smith designed the tower.[3] He worked with Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) until 2006.[4] It was built by Samsung Engineering & Constructio], Besix, and Arabtec.[5] The tower cost US $1.5 billion to build.[6] The building is part of a 2 km building project on Sheikh Zayed Road, Downtown Burj Khalifa. It is near Dubai's main business district.
The most important building materiel of Burj Khalifa is reinforced concrete. A special concrete was needed because of the high pressures of the building's weight and the hot local climate. Persian Gulf temperatures that can reach 50 °C (122 °F). Any major cracks could have caused a large amount of damage to the building.
The foundation of the building is 15 metres (49 ft) deep. It was built with 192 columns being put into the ground. Each column was 1.5m in diameter and 43m long.[10] 55,000 tonnes of steel rebar was used in the construction of the tower. It took 22 million man-hours to build.[3] A high density, low permeability concrete was used in the foundations of Burj Khalifa. A cathodic protection system is used to lessen any bad effects from corrosive chemicals in local ground water.
The Dubai Fountain

A fountain system was built outside the tower. It was designed by WET Design of California. They built and planned out the fountains at the Bellagio Hotel Lake in Las Vegas. The fountain cost Dh800 million (US$217 million). It is lit by 6,600 lights and 50 coloured projectors. The fountain is 275 ft long. It shoots water 150 ft into the air to the sounds of classical and modern Arabic and world music.[11] On 26 October 2008, the fountain was named the Dubai Fountain.
