Designing for Disassembly at Stadium 974

The frame features efficient direct vertical load-paths and regularly spaced bays of stiff bracing struts. Horizontal diaphragms are created on each level through tension rod cross-bracing, avoiding the need for the floor system to act as part of the horizontal lateral system. The column elements are pinned at their base, and bending stiff from bottom to top with pinned connections between the columns and the radial and tangential girders. The frame follows an approximate 30-foot grid.

The design concept is based around a highly repetitive grid of identical structural frames, supporting standardized modular components: bleachers, concourse slabs and custom shipping containers pre-equipped with services. Stadium 974 was designed to be demounted after the event and relocated, either to be reassembled as a complete stadium or repurposed into alternate configurations at different locations
