Tallest Structure in the World
The  Burj Khalifa, yeah i know its hard to pronounce, but it is what it is.  The Burj Khalifa is a skyscraper located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates,  and is currently the tallest man-made structure to date, reaching a  height of 828 m. Completed in October of 2009, the superstructure is  stable and secure, leaving dead animals in its wake--that is a slight  exaggeration. The foundation is a large reinforced mat that is 3.7  meters thick with a total of 12,500 cubic meters of concrete. The core structure system itself is essentially a spiraling "Y" shape, used to reduce oncoming wind against the tower. But this all can be summed up in one picture.
