The science of the Burj Al Arab
The icon of recognition not only for Dubai but for the Middle East which gone through a life span of 20 years, maybe over or maybe less, has an mechanical engineering edge that till today, it still remains as one of the most high tech buildings (hotels) ever made.
A few basic ideas have been taken from small silly things that have made the hotel a whole combination of engineering and a visual treat. Let us first focus on the the base. It is made out of concrete which has holes in them which is made to ease the water pressure on the surface of the base. Instead of using barriers, to break the water flow head on, it instead incoperates the ideas of bring about holes into the concrete matrix that instead allows the water to hit the structure, however, the water’s pressure is broken down to completely to nullify the pressure.
The immense heat has also been an issue as the metal structure would face extreme contractions and expansion during the morning high temperature of around 49 C, which is considerably large compared to countries which are in the comforts of 20 to 30 C in Europe. What was done about this was that a 2 disc component was constructed. This inspiration was taken from the camshafts of a car. The metal can now freely expand and contract at its own will.
These little things have now made the Burj a more whole structure, the camera flash, the water hose and other small things have also added up to beautify and make the structure more solid, gp doctor jobs unfortunately have no role as such but the hotel has been completed with other very small contributions that make it a mechanical and visual beauty.
