And in the video they never explained how the Burj Dubai would cope against a sand storm.  I was intersted in how the skyscrapers were built and how people managed to think up such ingenious plans and blueprints.]]> 2018-03-16 04:24:23 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669791 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669807 I think that the skyscrapers video was a very informative, interesting video. It taught me lots of new things I did not know to do with skyscrapers as well as the process of creating them. It was fascinating to hear about how they had refuge rooms to protect residents. I also found the part where they showed the time line of skyscrapers very interesting as it included how they had evolved as well as the challenges faced for each of them.

Question:
If the building were to collapse would the refuge room still keep the residents safe?

Questions:
are the refuge rooms not flammable also do most buildings have refuge rooms

 halfway and then all of a sudden the design/structure of the skyscraper doesn't work out) 

Thought : I thought the use of technology in the skyscrapers was really cool & the way they are using the tech to make the skyscraper if better.

Question:
If a natural disaster hit a skyscraper such as a tsunami would it fall down or would the steel keep it in place?]]> 2018-03-16 04:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669820 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669821 I thought that the video was very interesting and useful. This is because they told us every step and the process of building a skyscraper as well as the safety of this process.

How would they prevent the skyscraper falling during a natural disaster? What if there was a natural disaster during the process of building the skyscraper, what would they do?]]> 2018-03-16 04:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669821 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669833 How do they secure the building to the ground? 
I know they use steal to secure the building from not moving.
I never thought of building a skyscraper has to think of that much stuff and some of them are unexpected. Like "Heat"

Question?
How to they secure the structure to the ground?
Why is it a competition between countries to have to tallest skyscraper?

question: can the refuge room in the burj dubai survive big magnitude earthquakes and their side effects?]]> 2018-03-16 04:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669845 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669855 I thought they video was very informative and intresting.It also is a great video to introduce to this unit.But I was wondering about the refuge rooms in the Burj Dubai/Khalifa because if there was a terrorist on the higher floors couldnt they break into the refuge rooms?Also how would the police get up fasts enought to stop them?]]> 2018-03-16 04:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669855 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669876 What will happen to the people in the Refuge Room if the earthquake is above 6.0? 
I think they should have a helipad at some floors and if there is an emergency they can just hop into the helicopter. Why can't they build the longest building (horizontally).

It also shows that some things take trial and error and that you have to learn from other's mistakes.

The video itself was also very cool and interesting to watch.]]> 2018-03-16 04:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669897 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669928 i thought it was a very difficult and complicated process which involved a lot of thinking ]]> 2018-03-16 04:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669928 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669930 I was highly impressed by the outcome of the actual building. They dealt with issues in an effective way. I wonder what would happen if there was a building made taller than this one. Also the idea of how the incorporated designs from many other buildings is very innovative.]]> 2018-03-16 04:25:21 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669930 hungf1 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669940 Did they test out any other materials before they came to steel and how did they come up with the solution for earthquakes? Did someone just thought it might work and it did? Also how do they know for sure that the fireproof rooms are fireproof?Do they test it? If so how? The evolution of skyscrapers was overall fascinating and the way the solutions they came up with for the problems was really astonishing.]]> 2018-03-16 04:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669940 smuldf1 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669948 How do the builders obtain the "snot" liquid after the displacement?

What was the cost for all the trials they did.]]> 2018-03-16 04:25:28 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669948 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669952 It was fascinating to understand how skyscrapers evolved over time and I thought it was cool how people thought of ideas that could change to world, though I am confused about why you need a huge building in the middle of a desert. ]]> 2018-03-16 04:25:29 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669952 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669965 I think that the video is interesting because it talks about the history about the buildings and the history behind it. It also talks about the elements about each skyscraper and how it's trying to tackle problems when it comes to building and how it's set.I'm wondering about the Baug Dubai can tackle every problem when it comes to building and the skyscraper itself.]]> 2018-03-16 04:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669965 chanc42 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669976 If the burj kalifa is so tall , then how do firefighters get to the to the top in time without taking the lift? they probably don't have cranes that go that far up.]]> 2018-03-16 04:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669976 glaveb1 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669978 How do thay know how thick to make the walls?]]> 2018-03-16 04:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669978 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669981 Skyscrapers are cool 
Their design evolved quite a lot over time and every improvement is a milestone for the construction industry.

I was wondering if there were any underwater skyscrapers (I mean of course they wouldn't be called skyscrapers but it would be nice to know if we have enough technological skills to build buildings underwater)

What if a second fire starts in one of the Burj Dubai's Refuge Rooms? How will the problem be solved? Are there any resources (food, blankets etc) in the Refuge Room?]]> 2018-03-16 04:25:46 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669981 20innerhofert1 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242669985 How were they able to use the emergency lift stop without the friction causing a fire?

I was also wondering, if, for some reason, the structure is faulty, and the building collapses sideways, how are they going to prevent from damaging any of the other properties around the Burj Dubai?]]> 2018-03-16 04:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242670006 ryderc11 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242670104 And how many people would they need for it ]]> 2018-03-16 04:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242670104 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242670135 I know what the buildings would stay even when the sand storm or typhoons happen but Wouldn't the whole building collapse when the tsunami or the tornado attacks the skyscrapers? ]]> 2018-03-16 04:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242670135 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242670194 The evolution of skyscrapers was very interesting, but what if the refuge room gets bombed after a fire starts?]]> 2018-03-16 04:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242670194 chanc42 https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242670203 how will the refuge room protect people if the whole building collapeses in an earthquake?]]> 2018-03-16 04:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242670203 matthew_mcnair https://padlet.com/matthew_mcnair/nzt2rmh9vc2w/wish/242670305 There are some clever people out there.
