BOLE SUB CITY ZONAL

STADIUM STRUCTURAL
DESIGN
BY ABEL BERHANEMESKEL

PREVIEW OF STRUCTURE
The stadium is divided into four lots that are replicated/ mirrored
throughout the stadium.
The Lots are

Lot
Lot
Lot
Lot

1A-1B (2x)
2 (4x)
3 (4x)
1C-1D (1x)

STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS
The spectator seat is slab less stair (tread/riser stair) type slab.
The frames are moment resisting frames
The roof is supported by space truss at every other axis and plane truss
between the space truss and lattice purlins resting(connected) with the
trusses.
The space truss is at by three joints
By the column
By the tension cable
By vertical pipe member that is located on the periphery of the building

DESIGN CONTRADICTION
The columns on the outside periphery of the stands (axis 3) are not
designed up to the required level i.e. the columns should have been
designed up to the truss level where they support the truss at axis 3
but the columns are designed to end at the same level as the stand.
The beam on axis 1 which is at level + 0.2m is repeated on two
different detail drawings in the ground floor beam detail it is a ground
floor beam (GFB1 300x500mm) and in the floor beam detail drawing it
is floor beam (FB2 300x550mm).

CONTD
There is no detail drawing for the Trusses (T1 & T2) and the lattice Purlin
which shows the spacing of the diagonal members, connection at
different points, the required curvature for the lattice purlin and the
bracings frame for the vertical pipe member that supports truss T1.
The support for truss T2 is not clear if it rests on an unspecified
horizontal member that is connected to the vertical pipe member or not.
LOT 1C-1D roof truss position and concrete slab roof for commentator
room overlap.
The roof for LOT 1C-1D doesnt cover all the stand.

CONTD
The length of truss T2 on the detail drawing doesnt add up to the area
its supposed to cover.
The truss 3D drawing doesnt fully represent the detail drawings.
The truss layout doesnt match when all the lots are fitted together
There is no architectural sectional drawing.
Guard Wall at the back is required.
