| Abstract: |
Hosting the Commonwealth Games 2010 in Delhi required construction of several new stadiums. It was desired that the roofs of the stadiums were unsupported in the middle, offering uncluttered look to the enclosure as well as provide obstruction-free line of sight. The generic solution involved steel roofs, as has been provided and described in this paper for the K.D. Yadav Wrestling Stadium, situated within the Indira Gandhi Stadium complex, on the banks of River Yamuna. The paper describes the structural engineering features of the stadium, which also had to accommodate the requirements of the planned legacy use of the facility. |
