Located in Dubai, UAE, the Burj Khalifa Tower is the world’s tallest man-made structure. The skyscraper soars to over a half mile high (828 meters, 2717 feet). The 280,000 square meter (3 million square feet) reinforced concrete multi-use tower is utilized for retail, a six star Giorgio Armani hotel, residential and office. The goal of the Burj Khalifa Tower is not simply to be the world’s highest building; it’s to embody the world’s highest aspirations. Utilizing amazing images, this energetic presentation will discuss the philosophy behind the construction, structural and sustainable design of the world’s tallest structure.

Larry Novak (Portland Cement Association) served on the structural design team for this structure.
