Abstrakt:

The Palm Jumeirah monorail is connecting the artificial Palm Jumeirah Island to the mainland of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The design methodology of the monorail structures was developed to accommodate the unique features of transit guideway structures, durability and constructability. An efficient continuous frame system monolithically integrated with the columns was therefore utilized. The 5.45 km long monorail line typically includes 29 m long guideway beams continuous over 5 spans. Over marine sectors and some other locations long span bridges are used with superstructure designed as a special cast-in-situ sandwich beam. The monorail structures were designed in Thailand by Norconsult Civil Engineering, Co. Ltd., the civil contractor is Palm Jumeirah Monorail Civil Joint Venture, a group of Japanese contractors, and Nakheel is the project owner. Construction began in March 2006 and opening is scheduled in April 2009.
