Abstract:
Describes construction of the world's tallest reinforced concrete building from the ready-mix supplier's perspective, with regard to materials, jobsite quality control, the concrete's statistical performance, project coordination, and using state-of-the-art technology. The good communication and teamwork that led to the successful completion of the project should serve as a helpful model for future jobs of this size and stature.
