Abstract
Bao'An Stadium is a unique structure that utilises 54m span cantilevers with tensioned members to support the roof. This report involves a simplified finite element model of Bao'An stadium using Strand7 to analyse the effects of deflections, buckling and earthquake loading. Modelling the cantilevers of the original structure with a double curvature was problematic due to unrealistic deflections and no total mass participation using the Spectral Response Solver. To rectify this, a simplified symmetrical stadium was created and the cable free length attribute was used to induce tension in the inner ring and bottom chord members to create upwards deflection. Further, in place of the Spectral Response Solver, the Transient Linear Dynamic Solver was inputted with an El-Centro earthquake. The stadium's response to a 0.20g earthquake and self-weight indicated the deflections satisfied AS1170.0, the loading in the columns was below the critical buckling load, and all structural members satisfied AS4100.
