The Burj Khalifa utilizes high-strength concrete with a compressive strength of around 80 MPa (megapascals) to support its immense height and load. In some areas, the concrete strength reaches up to 100 MPa. This high-performance concrete not only provides structural integrity but also allows for the building's innovative design and resilience against environmental factors.
They used concrete.
Steel, concrete, and glass were used in the construction of the Burj Khalifa due to their strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Steel provides the structural framework needed to support the skyscraper's height, while high-strength concrete offers stability and resistance to compression. The extensive use of glass enhances the building's modern appearance and allows for natural light, creating a visually striking façade. Together, these materials enable the Burj Khalifa to withstand environmental stresses such as wind and seismic activity.
POTATO
The Arabic word for tower is burj - the fancy hotel in Dubai is the Burj al Arab and the tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa (used to be Burj Dubai)
The Burj Dubai, now known as Burj Khalifa, primarily utilizes reinforced concrete for its structure, supplemented by glass and steel. The concrete is derived from local materials, including limestone and aggregates sourced from nearby quarries. Additionally, the building's facade features a high-performance glass curtain wall that reflects the surrounding environment. Overall, while traditional rocks like limestone were used in the concrete mix, the primary building material is concrete rather than individual rock types.
it was used for pwning all the other tall buildings in this world XD
Emaar Properties appointed South Korea's Samsung Engineering & Construction as the main contractor for the Burj Dubai tower on December 8th, 2004. Owings Skidmore designed Burj Khalifa based on upward-spiral Islamic architecture style of six spokes Hymenocallis desert flower. The 1,528,000 square ft of exterior claddings used in Burj Khalifa prevents from magnitude of 6.0 earthquake, extreme summer temperatures, and speed of 55m strong wind. Labours used to build Burj Khalifa were mainly from South Asia.

Yes actually there have! The concrete used to build the tower could not be poured in the day during summer because of the heat therefore builders had to put ice and pour concrete at night when the air was much cooler
The floors of the Burj Khalifa are primarily made of high-quality materials such as reinforced concrete and natural stone, including Italian marble and other premium finishes. The choice of materials not only ensures durability but also contributes to the building's luxurious aesthetic. Additionally, the flooring incorporates advanced engineering techniques to support the structure's height and stability.
I know what the worlds tallest building is in Dubai. It used to be Taipei 101
Yes, both structural steel and about 55,000 tons of reinforcement (rebar) for the concrete. The 200-meter spire alone contains 4000 tons of structural steel, and stainless steel is used around the exterior windows.
