Burj Khalifa enclosure is made mostly of steel and glass. The former has a high modulus of expansion, the latter much less, so the sealants used between components will degrade rapidly due to thermal cycling and salinity. The enclosure maintenance costs alone are prohibitive on a 900m high building, thats without considering the structural degredation portrayed herein.

My wife has thermal cycling. Just after her period she's hot to go. As the month goes on she gets colder.

Very soon Burj Khalifa will become empty and will be marked as a Ghost building. It will remain as a reminder of Sheer ego and human arrogance only.

That building will be standing in 200 years. Why? It is built better than this video says and there are billionaires making sure it will stand.
