This information is used by the engineers in order to confirm the expected behavior of the structure, and by the contractor in order to plan for the appropriate construction ali
3、gnment compensation.Cast-in-place reinforced concrete was selected as the primary construction material for this project primarily due to its ideal mass and stiffness characteristics, which aid in the reduction of wind-induced movement of the Tower, a governing factor in the design of tall, slender towers. In addition, cast-in-place concrete is a cost-effective and practical option for construction in Dubai.Authors1) William F. Baker, Partner, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, Chicago: 2) Bradley S.
