Design of Football Stadium Facility Structure in AlKhobar
Project Overview
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is witnessing tangible economic prosperity and progress in all domains of socio-economic development, including Vision 2030 and the National
Transformation Program (NTP) 2020. The development includes increasing the reliance on sport activities and events, which means developing sport facilities.
This report proposes a structural and geotechnical design of Saud bin Jalawi Football Stadium facility structure in Al Raka, Khobar, using reinforced concrete for the members of the main structure and the foundation, and trusses steel design for the roofing, to meet the international and FIFA standards.
The project is a renovation of the existing Saud bin Jalawi Stadium, to extend its overall area and the seating capacity from 12,000 spectators to approximately 35,000 spectators using a layout for an unstructured stadium.
In addition, this report outlines the site’s soil profiling and improvement
recommendations, structural modelling, the calculation and designing with the reinforcement of
concrete elements and foundation, and the estimation of the overall costs incurred by the materials used in constructing the project.
Our idea of designing a stadium was considered a challenge and one of a kind since we were the first in our university to come with a new idea and accept a new challenge. Furthermore, beside the use of reinforced concrete as our main structure material, we also
calculated and designed using steel members as an alternative.
In this report, we did our best to explain and clarify our intended methods of calculating and designing the structure. So, we hope that we have covered all required information and made it clear and smooth for the reader.
Project Objectives
The structural and geotechnical design of Saud bin Jalawi Football Stadium facility structure in Al Raka, Khobar, using reinforced concrete and steel design, to meet the international and FIFA standards.
