Burj Khalifa
INTRODUCTION: Burj Khalifa is the tallest building all over the world.it is famous building in all country. it is situated in Dubai.
The Burj Khalifa (, Arabic for "Khalifa Tower"; pronounced English), known as the Burj Dubai before its inauguration, is a megamall skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. With a total height of 829.8 m (2,722 ft) and a roof height (excluding antenna) of 828 m (2,717 ft), the Burj Khalifa has been the tallest structure in the world since its topping out in late 2008.Pertinently it is also called "Burj Al Arab" for being the tallest building in the United Arab Emirates. It was later named "Burj Khalifa" on the 3rd anniversary in 2011. 
History of height increases
There are unconfirmed reports of several planned height increases since its inception. Originally proposed as a virtual clone of the 560 m (1,837 ft) Grollo Tower proposal for Melbourne, Australia's Docklands waterfront development, the tower was redesigned by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (SOM). Marshall Strabala, a SOM architect who worked on the project until 2006, in late 2008 said that Burj Khalifa was designed to be 808 m (2,651 ft) tall.
The architect who designed it, Adrian Smith, felt that the uppermost section of the building did not culminate elegantly with the rest of the structure, so he sought and received approval to increase it to the current height. It has been explicitly stated that this change did not include any added floors, which is fitting with Smith's attempts to make the crown more slender. Emaar Properties announced on 9 June 2008 that construction of Burj Khalifa was delayed by upgraded finishes and would be completed only in September 2009. An Emaar spokesperson said that "[t]he luxury finishes that were decided on in 2004, when the tower was initially conceptualized, is now being replaced by upgraded finishes. The design of the apartments has also been enhanced to make them more aesthetically attractive and functionally superior." A revised completion date of 2 December 2009 was then announced. However, Burj Khalifa was opened on 4 January 2010, more than a month later.
Burj Khalifa has redefined what is possible in the design and engineering of supertall buildings. By combining cutting-edge technologies and cultural influences, the building serves as a global icon that is both a model for future urban centers and speaks to the global movement towards compact, livable urban areas. The Tower and its surrounding neighborhood are more centralized than any other new development in Dubai. At the center of a new downtown neighborhood, Burj Khalifa’s mixed-use program focuses the area’s development density and provides direct connections to mass transit systems. Burj Khalifa’s architecture has embodied references to Islamic architecture and yet reflects the modern global community it is designed to serve 
cost
Dubai's Emaar Properties said on Monday the final cost of the world's tallest tower stood at $1.5 billion, with 90 percent of the building already sold, and that it would benefit 2010 results.Chairman Mohamed Alabbar, who held a media briefing on Monday for the opening of the skyscraper, said the Burj Dubai opening would have a positive impact on the first three quarters of 2010.Started at the height of the economic boom and built by some 12,000 laborers, the world's tallest building opens on Monday in Dubai as the once-booming emirate seeks to revive optimism during its financial crisis.
Burj Khalifa admission ticket, travelers can ride the high-speed elevator to the 124th-floor At the Top observation deck for stunning 360-degree views over Dubai and the Persian Gulf. It's also possible to ride to the exclusive, 125th-floor and then go even higher to the 148th-floor At the Top SKY deck (the tallest viewing platform in the world at 1,821 feet or 555 meters), watching a multimedia presentation on the way and then taking in the sights through the deck's floor-to-ceiling glass walls. If you'd rather not get so high, wander through the gardens and fountains of Burj Khalifa Park, or shop till you drop at the Dubai Mall, located inside the building. Along with a huge variety of shops such as Galeries Lafayette, Bloomingdale's, and Marks & Spencer, the mall features an aquarium, ice rink, Sega theme park, and movie theater. FEATURE OF BRUJ
STRUCTURE:
Burj Khalifa – Structural Engineering. Rising 828 meters over the desert metropolis of Dubai, the Burj Khalifa tower is the world's tallest structure. The 280,000-square-meter skyscraper contains office, residential, and retail space, along with a Giorgio Armani hotel.
MATERIALS:
Materials. In total, the construction of the Burj Khalifa required 330,000 cubic meters of concrete, the foundation alone using over 45,000. This foundation consists of 192concrete piles, which are each buried 50 meters beneath the surface. 31,400 metric tons of steel rebar were used to reinforce the concrete.
PURPOSE:
the tallest building in the world and many people would go to Dubai to see it, improving the economy of Dubai through tourism. It will also be used for office buildings and hotel. It was created for the king because in Arabic Khalifa means king...Function and purpose The Burj Khalifa was built in Dubai.
EARTHQUAKE PROOF:
Earthquake Resistance – The Burj Khalifa building has the capacity to withstand earthquakes up to a 7.0 magnitude. ... In addition, a system of motion sensors located throughout the building is designed to detect and report unusual structural movement.
