All Hat, No Cattle: New Stadiums Seeking Fans

Several stadium structures designed by Walter P Moore completed construction during 2020-21. (Due to the pandemic these stadia opened to literally no fanfare.)  Each structure is unique and complex; nevertheless, solutions derived for such unique conditions illustrate principles of engineering that can inform all manner of practice.  Topics include stadium design for high seismic hazards, design of long-span lightweight cable roof structures, and accelerated design for construction.

 

Learning Objectives

  • Participants will be able to identify three key design objectives for long span roof structures.
  • Participants will be able to able to describe options for managing thermal movement of stadium structures.
  • Participants will be able to identify methods used to install cables in roof structures. 

Registration

Free! Use the link to the right to RSVP by 11:59 pm on April 21st to to receive access information.

1 CE Hour will be issued for this event.
