Burj Khalifa, an enormous skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, became the world's tallest building upon its completion in 2009. Engineering Burj Khalifa discusses why the designers aimed so high, the innovative construction methods used by the builders, and how the tower's occupants are kept safe and comfortable. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Core Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.
