Lõppkuju moodustus alles siis, kui Djoser lasi mastaba mastaba otsa ehitada ja nii sai kõrguseks 60m. Kokku sai kuus korrust. Maa alla viivad sahtid on osaliselt hauaröövlite ehitatud. Ruumidesse, mis tehti ka maa-alla olid maetud Djoseri perekonnaliikmed ja sealt leiti ka Djoseri vasak jalg. Murtud püramiid Püramiid sai oma nime sellest, et kaldenurk on all 54 ja ülevalpool 43 kraadi. Sellepärast ei saanud valmis mitte 135m vaid 1041m püramiid, mille külje pikkus on 190m. Selle püramiidi eripääraks on asjaolu, et üks sissepääs on tehtud klassikaliselt põhja suunas ja teine on suunatud läände. Need on omavahel keerulise käikude süsteemi järgi ühendatud, kusjuures sisse on ehitatud ka allakukkuvaid kive. Muumiat püramiidist ei leitud. Nagu paljudel teistel on ka sellel püramiidil idaküljel tempel. Teised Snofru (4. Dünastia) püramiidid asuvad Dahschuris. Punane püramiid
York City (USA). Both places have remarkable collections of cast-iron arch bridges. Figure 8 Royal Albert Bridge, Saltash, Cornwall (UK), was the last great enterprise of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, England's foremost Victorian engineer. This photograph served as the frontispiece to William Humber's A Complete Treatise on Cast and Wrought Iron Bridge Construction, published in 1864, and shows one of the great lenticular spans being jacked into place. It was 445ft (135m) long, consisting of a single wrought-iron elliptical tube upper chord and a curved bottom chord of linked eyebar chains connected by open truss bracing. The trusses were fabricated on shore, then floated into position and jacked into position over the Tamar. Institution of Civil Engineers, London Engineers in the 19th century improved the technology of sinking foundations to bedrock. Up until that time, coffer dams and crude caissons were the only means by which foundations could be
