| Abstract: |
The XIX Commonwealth Games saw the upgradation of existing stadiums as well the construction of several new stadiums with long span steel roof to provide column free spaces. This paper describes the unique aspects of retrofitting a very large and complex steel roof structure of 155 m diameter, including state-of-the-art design and construction, namely, the roof of Indira Gandhi Stadium which was completed in 1982. It also highlights the necessity of considering non-linear analysis, especially considering the construction stages to arrive at reliable and accurate results. |
