Burj Khalifa (Dubai, UAE)
Burj Khalifa is 828 meters tall, and it is also world's tallest building with free-standing structure. Engineers faced with many challenges, one of which is the winds. In this regard, they conducted more than 40 wind tunnel testings, which was done not only to determine the impact of the wind on the building, but also a test on the crane used in the construction. Burj Khalifa was completed on January 4, 2010.
