Structural Department04-02-2013

Project Overview

• Project Scope – Structuralo Enclose Main football field Stadium with overhang

roof

o Feasibility study of existing stadium for proposed new roofing.

o Roofing shall cantilever or alternate – no obstruction to view sight

o Aerodynamic roofing – direct incident wind outflow.

o Wind tunnel test / Computational Fluid Dynamic study to determine most suitable roofing profile.

Looking Ahead

• Meeting with Terrell

• Prepare deliverable list with Terrell input

• Known issues and assumptionso Much of missing as built drawing contribute to site survey and

on field investigation. o Connecting New proposed roof structure to existing Stadium.o New column support and foundation for proposed roofing

• Next actiono Geotechnical Investigation o Develop 3 conceptual structural proposalo Wind Study
