Consulting Engineer Construction Period 02/2016 - 12/2017 Commissioned by Elpen S.A., a pharmaceutical company, this huge project includes a sports centre, a conference centre and a research centre. A design team formed by Elastic Architects worked to shape this idea. This structure constitutes the canopy of the football stadium grandstands. The dimensions of this canopy are about 61 m x 10 m and the maximum height is around 14 m. The structure has an intricate geometry composed of curved members. SCIA Engineer was used to create a 3D model of this complex structure. First, the stability analysis was performed to calculate the acr factors. The next step was the linear and non-linear analysis, including global imperfections, using the buckling shapes determined by the stability analysis. The seismic design followed, as well. It was a challenge for us to model the geometry of the canopy exactly and maintain the architect’s idea. Football Stadium Grandstand Canopy - Athens, Greece T.E.
