LES INGÉNIEURS EN STRUCTURE DE MONTRÉAL
est une association fondée en 1974 pour stimuler le développement
professionnel et les échanges entre les ingénieurs en structure
oeuvrant dans la région de Montréal.
DERNIÈRE RÉUNION
LARRY G. GRIFFIS
PRESIDENT, STRUCTURES DIVISION
WALTER P. MOORE ASSOCIATES
AUSTIN, TEXAS
Larry Griffis, P.E., is President of the
Structural Division of Walter P. Moore and
Associates, a nationally recognized
engineering firm specializing in major sports
facilities. Mr. Griffis has directed or made
significant contributions to the structural
design of over fifty major buildings throughout
the United States and internationally. He has
combined his 32 years of practical design and
management experience with ongoing
involvement in numerous technical
committees, exploring and documenting
specialized structural issues of design,
construction, and delivery.
He has developed particular expertise in the
design of long span roof structures, high-rise
buildings, composite steel and concrete
systems, and analysis of large buildings under
wind forces.
Mr. Griffis’ honors include the "AISC Lifetime
Achievement Award, finalist as ENR
magazine’s "Construction Man of the Year,"
and the AISC T.R. Higgins Award. He was
named to the National Academy of
Engineering in 2003, the highest praise
bestowed by peers in the industry.
RETRACTABLE ROOF STADIUMS: THE NEW AGE IN STADIUM DESIGN
18H / JEUDI 11 MAI 2006
PAVILLON MACDONALD-HARRINGTON-G-10
UNIVERSITÉ MCGILL
Retractable roof stadiums have ushered in a new
era in the evolution of sports stadiums around the
world. The high cost of new stadiums demands that
they be more versatile and not just used on game
days. They need to be both open air and enclosed
for a wide range of venues. That means stadiums
with retractable roofs.
This presentation will address the structural
engineering challenges that go into the design and
construction of this new genre of building type – the
retractable roof stadium and ballpark. Featured will
be the new Reliant Stadium – home of the NFL
Houston Texans and the Houston Livestock Show
and Rodeo, Minute Maid Park – the home of the
Houston Astros, and Cardinals Stadium – home of
the NFL Arizona Cardinals.
With spans typically ranging from 150 to 250 metres
or more, these “long span” roof structures with
moving roofs present a host of challenges. What
type of steel is used to keep the weight down, how
are the steel truss connections made, how are the
roofs erected and what role does this play in the
structural engineering design, how are the roofs
operated for potential thunderstorm and hurricane
wind conditions, what happens if a mechanization
failure occurs and how is this accommodated in the
structural design, how are natural turf fields
accommodated in the operation and maintenance of
the building – all these types of questions will be
addressed in this presentation.
