| Abstract: |
Shanghai Sports Centre is an innovative multi-purpose facility that can accommodate 80,000 spectators. With a floor area of 150,000 m², it is intended for sports events and concerts, and also offers a hotel, a health club, shopping and exhibition areas and catering services. The roof of the Centre is a saddle-shaped ring that is a cantilevered spatial structure composed of radial and circular trusses. It is made up of 57 umbrella-like cable structures covered with an advanced fabric membrane. This type of spatial roof structure, having such long overhangs, had never been built in China. Many challenges were encountered in its design, fabrication and erection. |
