Bozhou Statium
PROJECT TECHNOLOGY

The roof of the stadium is constructed with orthogonal pyramidal space truss. The curtain wall around is a triangular cross-section trench structure. The plane projection of roof space truss and curtain wall structure is rectangular. The east-west direction is 159.2m long and the north-south direction is 133m wide. The central chord elevation of the roof is 22.0m, and the highest point elevation of the curtain wall structure is 23.9m.

The thickness of the space truss is 3.5 meters in the competition area and 3 meters in the gym area. The maximum span of the space truss in the stadium area is 63 meters from east to west, and the maximum cantilever in the west is 20.5 meters. Curtain wall trench structure?s thickness is about 2 meters, and placed at 69 degree angle with the ground level. The hollow circular pipe is used in the whole roof space truss and curtain wall trench structure. The grid joints are welded spherical joints and the curtain wall trench joints are intersecting joints. The roof space truss structure is supported on concrete cylinders and columns by fixed and unidirectional sliding spherical hinge support. The upper end of curtain wall trench is connected with the upper chord of the space truss through horizontal connecting rod, and the lower end is fixed hinge support.
