Abstract:

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