In Construction
• Concrete Superstructure
![Page 8: Design, Structure, Construction and Analysis of Burj Al Arab, Dubai](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042421/54bc90744a7959d1778b45a9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
In Construction
• Bracing
![Page 9: Design, Structure, Construction and Analysis of Burj Al Arab, Dubai](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042421/54bc90744a7959d1778b45a9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Analysis-Trusses
• Braces steel frame diagonally• Resists Lateral Loads• Reduce Moment and Deflection
![Page 10: Design, Structure, Construction and Analysis of Burj Al Arab, Dubai](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042421/54bc90744a7959d1778b45a9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Analysis-Bracing Multistructure
Bracing
In Tension
• Braces the exterior steel frame• Resists Lateral Loads• Resists Overturning
![Page 11: Design, Structure, Construction and Analysis of Burj Al Arab, Dubai](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042421/54bc90744a7959d1778b45a9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Analysis-Spine
• Lateral loads are transferred from steel frame to central spine
• Spine unifies the steel and concrete structures
![Page 12: Design, Structure, Construction and Analysis of Burj Al Arab, Dubai](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042421/54bc90744a7959d1778b45a9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Whole loads are first passed from reinforced concrete in multistory frame to main steel exoskeleton, and then to the foundation.

Atrium Membrane
• Façade for worlds tallest atrium• Material – Teflon coated
Fiberglass• Supported on arched trusses• Trusses supported by cross
braced steel rods• Anchored at the bottom,
mezzanine at the top• Reduces glare and allows
diffused lighting into atrium

The Foundation
• Foundation is a piled raft• 250 bored piles using friction• Each is 1.5m and 35m long• Bored through sand• Resists earthquakes
