Projects of Incredibly High Skyscrapers and Their Implementation Possibilities
People have been obsessed with the idea of building skyscrapers since time immemorial. Everyone is well-known for the mythical story of the Tower of Babel, which is the best example of the existence of such a desire of people and their striving for its implementation. If at that time people were interested in building a building as high as heaven only in order to get closer to the gods, then this was replaced by other considerations. First of all, this is the accommodation of as many people as possible in a small area. Despite the centuries-old experience of construction, the possibility of constructing such buildings structurally arose only at the end of the 19th century in the form of arranging metal frames. After the construction of many skyscrapers in different parts of the world, construction technology has improved and the use of reinforced concrete along with steel has made it possible to build super-tall buildings. Although many such projects have been implemented, there are still incredibly tall skyscraper projects that belong to the realm of fantasy and need to be evaluated for their feasibility.
