Dubai Has Built The World's Longest Cantilever

Hoisting a 100-metre-high, 9,500-tonne skybridge between two skyscrapers and over a live roadway is what you call an incredible feat of engineering. This is how it was done. Here's why the One Za'abeel team uses HoloBuilder - bit.ly/2ObjRj4

Jeddah: "We will top it! This is a building taller than yours!" Dubai: "We will take the record back to Dubai! This is a tower taller than yours!" Jeddah: "Oh damn, this is expensive. We're out." Dubai: "Now there's only us left in the race! We are guaranteed to win! ... wait, we already have the winning tower, and this IS damn expensive! Y'know what, Burj Khalifa is tall enough as it is."

Me not knowing what a cantilever is: Ah yes, impressive

[@peach495]

@Kwistenbiebel200 Wrong. It's cantilevered from Building A out. A cantilever doesn't reference how it's attached. The cantilever references the structure jutting out from a structure without support on the end of the portion jutting out. This is a cantilever structure.

[@freedoom1013]

@Kwistenbiebel200 Exactly!

[@peach495]

@Kwistenbiebel200 No it doesn't. the video is clear from the beginning how it attaches to the two buildings. If it cantilevers out from building A 1 foot, it's a cantilever.

[@lonestarr1490]

It's a lever that cantis. Obviously.

[@lachtosenotlachlan3053]

@Kwistenbiebel200 Thank you! Thats what I thought at first after having seen the video. The title got me thinking that this was going to be the longest cantilever but it was disappointing when a short span of the other end was the only cantilever. The rest is just simply supported. This is pretty much making it an illusion of a long cantilever.

The CCTV Building has a 75m cantilever according to Google. I saw one source that said this is 66m. The ratio of the cantilever is 5.5 diamonds long to 1.5 diamonds high. It looks to be around 5 stories high. 66m would make sense if the typical floor to floor height was 3.6m, a reasonable figure. Even if this was 4m the cantilever would be 73.3m, less than the CCTV Building. I'm dubious, but we'll see the official figure when the tower is opened I suppose.

Nah not the longest cantilever, they just deform the concepts to fit their marketing! For me a cantilever is something that is hold from 1 point only.. Like a tree branch. This building is a sky bridges with a small "excess" to it. If you remove the bit that they welded, it's a SKY BRIDGE...that's like a tree branch beings fix on the start and End with a bit that go pass it. Only the welded bit is cantilever, so definitely not the longest! Check out Busan cinema roof for a proper cantilever.

In history tall buildings where before like in ancient Egyptian and thamud .. but when the history goes people become less into buliding tall buildings , especially at the time of prophet Muhammad ,, but because God showed him the future .. he knew that Bedouins will compete into building tall buildings ,, The Sabah just believed that and documented the prophecy into the hadiths .. and know we are starting to see the Bedouins are beginning to compete ..

Most capitalists did that already. Look up how much billions of euros that European countries splurge to donate them to shithole countries and yet they suffer. Look up how much the US, Japan and South Korea donated to third world countries. No matter how much you give if citizens of the beneficiaries are not willing to progress then nothing will come out of it. Even the socialist model North Korea receives millions of dollars from 1st world countries but here they are still living in the 50's. But hey its still the capitalists fault, right?

Dubai: Cool buildings, terrible urban planning.

[@blitzkrieg634]

How's the urban planning terrible

[@deanwhite5292]

@@blitzkrieg634 The city is planned around cars- highways are EVERYWHERE... separating large swaths of the city and requiring a car to get basically anywhere. Also, the large buildings and lack of midsize buildings (3-4 stories) make the city feel very unusual for pedestrians. Nothing is “human-scale” and there is basically no sense of space. Basically every building is trying to be the newest coolest design- great cities have a few iconic buildings with many humble buildings. Think of Paris - the large majority of the buildings all are built in the Parisian style with a few iconic buildings: The Eiffel Tower, Centre Pompidou, The Louvre, etc.

[@blitzkrieg634]

@@deanwhite5292 so you're telling me it's terrible because it's built for the 21st century, with cars and spread out? The fuck 😂

[@deanwhite5292]

@@blitzkrieg634 Yes actually, that’s exactly what I’m saying. More specifically: I'm telling you its terrible because cities should be built for people, not for cars. Cars are not inherently terrible but when the only option to get around a city is to drive, that is poor design. For example: In Dubai, the Burk Khalifa is 2/3 of a mile from Coca Cola Arena. The walk is 1.1 miles (that takes 22 minutes) and requires you to cross over 16 lanes of highway. There are basically no shops, parks, or anything on that walk. Because of this, you would probably never walk there, even though it is a very easy walk. Instead, you drive. In Paris, The Arc de Triumph is 1 mile from the Eiffel Tower. The walk is 1.4 miles (roughly 29 minutes) and does not require you to cross over any highway. Instead, you walk past hundreds, maybe thousands of shops and boutiques, a dozen parks, etc. Allowing you to experience the city, the people, the culture, etc. There are hundreds of opportunities to meet new people, try new foods, etc. All on a 1.4 mile walk. The example in Paris is actually a longer walk but I guarantee it would be a much more enjoyable and unforgettable experience. You would probably do it again, without needing to rely on your car. I'm from America and we are so conditioned that cars are essential - because they are.. but only because of the way we have planned our cities. It is a shame that Dubai chose to plan cities like post-WW2 America. They had a great opportunity to create a great city but they decided instead to build massive towers of glass that have no connection to the street or city in which they sit.. Ask yourself, which walk would you rather do everyday?

[@dudu12188]

@@deanwhite5292 walking in 40ºC? no thanks. here in Brazil a few weeks that reach this temperature and humid at desert levels, it is IMPOSSIBLE to walk on the street with the sun literally destroying everything that the light catches, in this period you only go by car and with AC on. now imagine in Dubai, where 40ºC is the standard temperature on a normal day, and they are still in the desert, it is not surprising that they build tall buildings with everything inside and highways everywhere.

This is not a cantilever. A cantilever is fixed at only one end. The majority of this bridge is supported by two ends. The most you could say is that little bit extending past the building is a cantilever, but that's only about 1/4 of the total length and definitely not the world's longest cantilever.
