Burj Khalifa, World's Tallest Skyscraper

Burj Khalifa, the tallest skyscraper in the world, is 829.8 meters tall. Burj Khalifa is currently the tallest skyscraper in the world. Not only that, but also the world's largest shopping mall, Dubai Mall, was built on its backdrop. This structure is a method of human hand touching the sky. However, the construction of the structure is very arduous and involves many challenging engineering problems. Let's examine these problems together.

Burj Khalifa has 53 different elevators. Some can reach speeds of up to 35km/h and climb the 120th floor in less than 50 seconds. The largest elevators can carry 46 people. It is difficult to ensure that an object traveling this fast can stop immediately in an emergency. It has a braking system that can stop the elevator after a few meters when the speed limit is exceeded.
