CASE STUDY
AIM OF THIS WORK:
The aim of this work was not to define who made the mistake, but:
a. to investigate which kind of “error” could have compromised the safety of
this structure; and,
b. to evaluate the consequence of these “errors” in terms of global structural
response.

![Page 4: Sei2013 crosti](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052821/554a27d9b4c90520578b4aa8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A temporary structure can be defined as a structure that can be readily and completely
dismantled and removed from the site between periods of actual use.
They comprise 3 distinct elements:
1. The foundations – designed to both support the structure and hold it down (due to wind-
uplift, sliding or over-turning).
2. The superstructure – to carry all the imposed vertical (gravity) loads safely to the ground,
e.g. people, equipment.
3. The stability system – bracing and other specialist members to resist horizontal loads, e.g.
due to crowd movement and wind loads.

This structure is designed to be indoor; therefore the structural elements were
designed to carry vertical loads but may not have been designed for lateral loads. That
could be a fatal error in the design phase, in fact, following what prescribed in the
UNI ENV 1999-1-1:2007, in order to run global analyses, it is necessary to take
account of horizontal forces due to the imperfections of the elements composing the
structure.
