Group GmbH / Steel United Group Engineering Office Stageco Deutschland GmbH Construction Period 06/2012 - 07/2012 In front of the renowned Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, a grid structure had to be built for a video screen of 65 m² and sound systems for the main stage of the fan park / public viewing area for UEFA Euro 2012 and FIFA World Cup 2014. Technical Data: Dimension: W × T × H ≤ 25.9 m × 10.9 m × 14.6 m System: Stageco trussing ’Meilenstein’ with Prolyte aluminium trusses Load capacity: Video screen (W × H = 10.75 m × 6.05 m): 8.00 to Sound and light systems: 10.0 to For this project the structure has been modelled in detail, including every beam and member of the trusses. In total more than 5,000 members and 6 load cases with their non-linear combinations had to be calculated and designed. Some special characteristics have been the pressure only supports (no fixing with the building ground), the cables with tension only and stiffening plates as 2D elements inside the crossovers.
