The tallest building project in Dubai is the Burj Khalifa, located in the city center of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is currently the world's tallest building, with a total height of 828 meters and 163 floors (including underground levels), completed in 2010.
The building must withstand strong winds and potential seismic forces, requiring steel reinforcement connections to ensure overall rigidity, particularly at the junctions of the Y-shaped wing walls and the core tube. Improper connections could lead to torsion or fatigue failure. Additionally, in densely reinforced areas such as link beams, the confined space poses significant operational challenges.
CHEERON, in collaboration with local manufacturing partners, provided a solution through upset forging rebar coupler mechanical connections. In the building's link beams, upset forging rebar couplers were used to splice horizontal and inclined reinforcement bars, enhancing shear capacity to withstand lateral forces caused by earthquakes and winds, ensuring the durability of the beams in high-stress areas.
Manufactured using high-grade S45C/40Cr carbon steel, reducing the risk of corrosion.
Subjected to tensile and fatigue testing to ensure connection strength.
Strict quality control measures, including torque testing and ultrasonic inspection.
Allows segmented construction at high temperatures, protecting connection points from sand and dust.
Complies with international standards (ISO), ensuring durability and seismic design compliance.
