When you think about Dubai, the first image that comes to mind is probably the Burj Khalifa. This magnificent skyscraper stands at an incredible height of about 828 m and is considered to be the tallest building in the world. It is a truly remarkable structure and has changed the way people view Dubai. Many people wonder though, how safe this huge building is and if it can really withstand different disasters like earthquakes.

The answer to this question is that the burj khalifa does not sway much at all, even when there are high winds. The people who built this magnificent tower took a lot of time and effort to make sure that it would be able to withstand different weather conditions. The top of the building does sway a little bit due to strong winds but this is nothing to worry about.

In order to counteract this, engineers and architects designed the structure in a special way. The design of the tower was inspired by the spider lily and this helps to reduce the amount of swaying that occurs. This is because the design of the tower deflects the wind so that it does not create organised whirlpools of air current which could shake the building.

The Burj Khalifa is also able to withstand a tsunami thanks to its unique shape. This is because the design of the tower is such that it prevents the waves from travelling down to the bottom. This means that the building will not be damaged by a tsunami at all.
