Dubai City Guide

The architecture of Dubai is so fascinating to an extent it has attracted the attention of all other countries to look into the technological aspects of this ultra modern city. There is a massive amount of construction taking place in this part of the world. It is interesting to note that the constructions in Dubai are flourishing to an extent that there are more number of the construction workers than the population of Dubai. The technological marvel associated with the architecture of the buildings is largely surprising since the other engineers regarded these as impossible. There are many building and the skyscrapers that depicts the advancements in the architecture namely the Burj Dubai, Palm Island, Dubailand, Burj Al Arab, the world islands and many more.

Palm Island

This is surely by far the most identified man created islands in the costs of the Dubai. The first phase of the

constructions started in the year 2001 and the residents started to live in this place from the year 2006. The architecture of this man made islands are fascinating since they rum many miles away from the main cost. The quality

of the facilities available in these regions is ultimate. There is also a proposal to introduce the monorail system into this place to add more comforts to the people living in this region. There are two more phases of the construction being carried on. The Palm Island on it own constitutes a city that contains all the modern amenities to ensure prosperous life.

Burj Dubai

The battle among the supreme powers in the world to produce the tallest skyscrapers is very interesting and inspirational in achieving excellence in the field of architecture. This battle has resulted in construction of the Burj Dubai towers. The tower can reach an attitude of 2684 feet. When completed, this skyscraper will become the tallest skyscraper in the world and it has already passed the 2320 feet mark of the Taipei 101 mark. It is estimated that this skyscraper will be completed during month of September this year.

Dubai is a coastal country which is situated in the coasts of the Persian Gulf coast. This is surrounded by Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Sultanate of Oman, and the Persian Gulf which covers the western side of the city. This city is the most populated of all the emirates. This also has a second largest surface area which is about 4000 sq.km. As this city is located near the coast the temperature varies drastically.

The maximum temperature will be 47 degree but its minimum temperature will be 7 degree. As this lies in the Arabian desert this has very less rainfall which is just about 6 inches per year. Hence the major problem for the Dubai is the fresh water resource. But as they are coastal country they have the opportunity to purify the salt water into drinking water. These were the one among the countries who implemented the reverse osmosis technique to produce drinking water from sea water.  Major part of the Dubai is sandy deserts where as the other southern emirates have a gravel sort of desert regions. As this is a coastal country the humidity in this city is always more than 50 % which are the major driving force for the drastic decrease in the temperatures at the night time.

As the soil is usually sandy there are many difficulties in the construction of the sky scrapers. But with the high edge technology and hi tech engineering analysis they were able to seek solution to most of the problems. Hence construction of these will cost high. One such solution is the skin friction that is produced by the building which when pass through a sandy soil.

This is nothing but the phenomenon in which a new kind of friction called as the skin friction which resists the motion of a structure further into the sand. This is because the area of contact between the sand and the structure increases as the structure goes into the sand hence if the area is more then the friction will always be high. There by they resist the further movement of the structure into the sand.
