Raising the roof of the Chunju/Jeonju sports stadium
Raising the roof of the Chunju/Jeonju sports stadium global modelling of stadium roof structure development of cable stay tensioning sequence linear analysis Tony Gee & Partners were retained by steelwork fabricator/erector Hanmaek Heavy Industries Co Ltd to provide a full erection analysis of the 260m x 160m roof structure of the 42,000 seat Chunju/Jeonju sports stadium, one of 11 new stadiums being constructed in Korea for the 2002 football World Cup. TGP's brief was to de?ne the cable prestressing sequence and the values of prestress to be used at any given time. The aimwas to be able to predict on site and in advance the e?ect that tensioning any one cable, or pair of cables, would have on any other cable. TGP chose to use LUSAS Civil & Structural analysis to help model the constructio
