Geometric Optimization of Kuwait University Stadium and Tennis Centre
Kuwait University is developing a brand new campus on a 5.2-square kilometer tract of land. The project calls for athletic facilities including a sports complex consisting of a 15,000-seat track-and-field and football Grand Stadium and a 2,000-seat indoor Tennis Centre. The Tennis Centre is covered by a thin shell concrete roof. The geometry in the form of a catenary dome was developed by the design team to optimize the use of material and span the entire arena. The dome is further reinforced with a series of reinforced concrete ribs that frame the openings and allow for higher point loads at desired locations. The structure for the Grand Stadium roof consists of a primary triangular steel arched truss spanning 200 meters and supporting the roofing system. Planar transverse steel trusses span between front and the back truss. The shape of this arched truss was optimized into a catenary with varying tributary load from the tapering fabric roof system.
