KNE 417 – CIVIL DESIGN 2

Project: Sports stadium – design element identification

I. Introduction

The report is to consider all the design elements associated with a modern sport

stadium.

II. Factors

Permission of local government: A building permit grants legal permission to start

construction of a building project. There also need to ensure that the land that the

project will be built on is following the land use planning. The main objective of building

permits is to ensure the health and safety of the community.

Geotechnical and soil conditions : types of soil , capacity of soil , density , critical slope ,

water level ( effect of capacity of soil ) , history of soil ( settlement , landslide,

earthquake...) , existing sewers , tunnels which provided the best solution for

foundation design that suitable for the stadium.

Determine the location of the site by using Global Positioning System which provide

information about the size of land, location, transportation , electricity source , water

supply, area around ( it will relevant to construction noise and dust , working time :

preventing working at certain times or required working at weekend in the congestion

site )

Surveying report: level of the site, sloping or flat (which part can use cut and fill

method), any existing services that require removal (trees, existing building ...).

Preparing the ground : including cleaning , clearing the ground, release the old and

building structures, transport of waste ...

Area of construction: capacity of storage, possible for material deliveries, precast unit

deliveries and crane on site.

Enquire the concept design of the stadium which can provided the planning, designing

and constructing form, space and ambience that reflect functional, technical,

environment and aesthetic considerations, durability ( it should stand up robustly and

remain in good condition), utility ( useful and function well for the people using it ) .

Tender process: to choose a reasonable construction contractor. reasonable means to

skilled, as good quality, reasonable price, fast construction’s time , occupational safety,

commitment to abide by the rules local activities and forms of reward and punishment.

Quotations construction details (estimated budget) : based on records of construction

engineering design .

Buying material: material’s prices usually changes, the preparation of early purchase of

materials can prevent price increase, avoiding the cost incurred, and may be more

active in the organization of construction.

Architect :

Shape of the stadium: almost stadium have a curved structure which can provide

the good view, good ventilation. The stadium can adequate some events such as

: rock concert, live show …

Capacity of stadium: the maximum number of people which the stadium can

service.

Roof: to protect fans from weather (retractable roof is really suitable in many

cases).

Landscape: design the surrounding areas of the stadium.

Planning some facilities in the stadium: meeting room, infirmary, toilets,

emergency exits, cafe, fitting rooms, gyms, trophy rooms, television gantry for

the coverage of the game, , shopping mall and a hotel with rooms have a view on

the field …

Future planning: the stadium can upgrade into a shopping and entertainment

complex.

Dimension of the stadium: the height of the roof (protect people from rainfall),

height of the seats which can bring everyone the best view.

Wrap: a fabric curtain ‘large wrap’ will go around the stadium structure, acting asadditional protection and shelter off spectators.

Road: comfortable for come in or go out, road for disability people.

Landscape: design the surrounding areas of the stadium.

Transportation system: number of cars entrance or leave out to estimated the

capacity of car park, number of entrance line to reduce the waiting time.

Lighting system: design a lighting control system that would meet the need of

sports standpoint and commercial users.

Sound system (which can provide the best sound to everywhere on the stadium)

Drainage system: the disposal of excess water on stadium.

Drain collection system and air-condition system: used the collected water (form

rain ) to warm or cool the stadium in the winter or summer (use the pipe under

the playing ground to absorbed heat to warm the stadium at winter), used to

cleaning, sprinkling the grass surface.

Fire protection, camera systems, security system to guarantee the safety place.

Electrical and water system

The artificial grass or natural grass for course.

Estimated cost of project activities.

Design the camera system to record the match and some sensitive circumstance

which the player usually require referee to see again with lower speed.

Sign the contracts with sponsors to increase the funds for stadium.

Invest to advertising activities to attract more audience.

Maintain system.

Engineering:

Design the dead load (self-weight of structure), live load (wind load, vibration,

snow load, activity on the stadium…)

Structural member of the stadium: concrete seating, steel frame, truss column,

roof (retractable roof), concrete foundation, beams …

Material of structural: type of steels, concrete, timber, plastic which suitable to

the safety factor.

Dimension of the structural: length, width, thickness …

Duration of the structural: how long they can service , renew …

Identify which member is tension or compression.

Predict the increase cost, errors can happen during the construction.

Sound system which can reach everywhere in stadium to announcement, report the

match.

Check the finance can adequate the total cost.
