ANÁLISIS ESTRUCTURAL II
Round Skyscraper
Abu Dhabi, is one of the richest cities in the world, it is part of the United Arab Emirates, also, it has one of the most interesting skyscraper, it istaller than the liberty statue, and his structure, design and architecture is based on the nature of a sea shell; it had some complications because of that, it was necessary looking for balance, whichwas so hard to find it, so in this way, the designer give it a pentagonal form.
Another aspects that had influence in the building is the water pressure and the sand in the foundations, because ofthat it had seen the necessity of implement a diaphragm wall containing the sand in the place where the structure should be.

It is necessary to do a raft toprotect the skyscraper, making of that a barrier for the water pressure; this wall or barrier has 12000 m3 of concrete, previous to that, the wind effects on the place are analyzed to approve thefoundations design.
In Aldar, it was necessary two concrete cores of 125 m height, reinforced with 6500 tons of steel which transmit the loads to the pillars, taking in count that the principal goal is tobuild a homogenous concrete, surrounding this and giving the round form to the steel exoskeleton.
