| Abstract: |
Located nearby the historic part of the city, the Vodafone Arena Stadium, replacing the former Besiktas JK Inonu stadium, stands out thanks to its remarkable covering of 26000m² that can shelter up to 42 000 spectators. The big lift method, used successfully in the last decades to lift lightweight and flexible structures composed by cables only, has been adapted for this project to lift a mixed structure, allying the stiffness of a highly hyperstatic steel frame and the shape- depending behavior of a cable structure. After being assembled on the ground, the structure was lifted on a distance of approximately 21m with 42 strand jacks, developing a total towing force of 7000t. Strict control procedures and geodetic checks were necessary to coordinate the 42 lifting points. The paper describes the general design approach and the specific site conditions; the construction method is detailed from both a calculation and an operational point of view. |
