Abstract

In recent years, there have been very big changes in the construction industry. It is especially noteworthy that the construction of unique buildings, which is mainly associated with the construction of skyscrapers, has shifted from the USA to Asia. This is primarily due to the versatile possibilities of using monolithic reinforced concrete as the main material in high-rise construction, along with metal structures. In the oil-rich Middle Eastern countries, which are dependent on natural energy resources, the use of other areas for the development of the country's economy is being carried out with great success. First of all, this is tourism, which is especially associated with the construction of new, completely different types of buildings and structures, which in turn contributes to the development of this industry. The best example of this is the "Burj Khalifa", the tallest building built on Earth, which attracts a lot of tourists from all over the world, and their number will increase even more after the construction of buildings taller than it. In order to achieve more impressive results in this direction, a lot of buildings are currently being built worldwide, among which several can be singled out.
