Jaw-Dropping Secrets Behind Tallest Buildings

Don't get me wrong. Building a 1 km skyscraper is more than outstanding, but I want 1 km of building, not 1km minus 200 meters pillar on top. 🤷🏻

@2:03, I like how he says " obviously you know about this building "..

[Lexyvil]

Geez, I remember the Burj Khalifa being a big deal when it was finished, but seeing the Jeddah Tower being a new one in construction really makes me realize how far humanity has gone.

For the Petronas Twin Towers, there are some facts to be added :
1) The 2 main buildings are built on steel tubes with glass outer wall with a shape of the Rub el-Hiz with a circle extending out. The buildings are also being split into layers, with each layer getting smaller as the height increases.
2) The twin towers are sat on a base (which is not shown in the video) spans an area much larger than the sum of each tower's base. The base serves the shopping mall, exhibition halls, educational theme park, and aquarium. It also serves as a base for some other shorter buildings like Petronas Tower 3, Maxis Tower.
3) The twin towers are being linked together with a 2-storey walkway in the middle, supported by 4 tubes, 2 on each side.

the twin towers of the wtc might not have been the most tallest skyscrappers, but were definitely the most iconic and pretty

I will never consider the Petronas Towers taller than the Sears Tower, especially since the Sears Tower has occupied floors that are higher up than those of the Petronas Towers. I honestly don't feel like spires should count toward total height either, regardless of being a permanent fixture.

That dude slamming into the support beam got me 😂

I keep thinking this is a small channel that deserves more subs, and then I see you've almost at 6.5 million subs, lol! You still deserve more subs though!

next will come a 1.2km building with a 1km antenna

An interesting thought: What is going to happen when they need to take these buildings down in the future and they will because all buildings exceed their life span?

Sir, Can you make video on, how Uttarakhand tunnel collapsed and how workers are rescued ?

[johntheux]

The biggest challenge now is going to be planning and actually building them in a realistic time frame. It would be interesting to see if prefabrication and standardisation can help.
Broad Sustainable Building might revolutionise skyscrapers with their 838 meters tall skycity tower that could be built in just 90 days.

Gothic cathedral engineers had it right the whole time, buttresses reign supreme

[joelweidenfeld]

The ENTIRE tallest building THING needs a few basic rules...a long pole at the top or anything that can't be occupied by a human BEING FULL TIME shouldn't count

02:56 ❤ Mr.Fazlur Rahman was a Bangladeshi National. 💕🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

[_Breakdown]

9:02 - - couldn’t the wind blow people off of that deck?

[ruffes]

Mr Fazlur Khan was the brilliant structural engineer from SOM who invented the tube system for Highrise buildings he was not the architect like it was said in the video

[Henri-qqxm]

the experiments are great, thank you. !

[jocelynastheart]

Now can you make a video of the smallest building in the world that would be awesome!
