    This case study examines the design and construction of three large span structures in Hong Kong: the Hong Kong Coliseum, Ma On Shan Sports Centre, and Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defense. At the Hong Kong Coliseum, a 90m steel space truss roof provides an unobstructed space for seating and activities. At the Ma On Shan Sports Centre, an elliptical steel roof truss spans 69.9m to cover a large arena. The Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defense features a 42m diameter fabric roof supported by tension cables and masts. Construction of these large roofs presented challenges around safety, stability during erection, and transportation that required careful planning and sequencing.

    CASE STUDY ON LARGE SPAN STRUCTURE

    HONG KONG COLISEUM MA ON SHAN SPORTS CENTRE

    A LARGE-SCALE STEEL THE ORIGINAL CENTRE WAS DESIGNED TO HOUSE A TENNIS COURT TOGETHER WITH SPECTATOR
    SPACE TRUSS IS ADOPTED AS THE ROOF TO CREATE SEATS, A HANDBALL COURT, 2 BASKET BALL COURTS, 2 VOLLEYBALL COURTS AND 8 BADMINTON
    A LARGE COLUMN FREE SPACE. COURTS, A PARTICULAR LARGE MAIN GAME ARENA OF 63M X
    37M WAS REQUIRED. THE STEEL ROOF ABOVE THE GAME ARENA IS ELLIPTICAL IN SHAPE AND IS
    HONG KONG COLISEUM WAS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE THE SUPPORTED BY LONGITUDINAL CURVED TRUSSES WITH SECONDARY TRUSSES OPTIMISING THE
    CITY WITH A WELL DESIGNED AND EQUIPPED MULTIPURPOSE INDOOR STADIUM WHERE DIVERSIFIED ACTIVITIES ARCHING EFFECT. THE MAIN TRUSSES WHICH ARE IN RECTANGULAR SECTIONS OF 2.5 M WIDE X
    CAN BE STAGED. THE ROOF TRUSS OF THE 5 M DEEP SPAN 69.9 METERS LONGITUDINALLY AND SUPPORTED BY REINFORCED CONCRETE
    COLISEUM SPANS 90 METERS IN BOTH LATITUDINAL AND LONGITUDINAL DIRECTIONS, PROVIDING COLUMNS THROUGH PIN CONNECTIONS. THEY WERE FABRICATED OFF-SITE IN GUANGZHOU
    UNDERNEATH SPACE FOR 12,500 SEATS AND AN AND WERE ASSEMBLED TEMPORARILY INTO TWO HALVES ON SITE BEFORE ERECTION TO
    ARENA OF 41M X 41M. THE ROOF TRUSS WAS ASSEMBLED ON THE GROUND FOR THE EASE OF FABRICATION FACILITATE TRANSPORTATION.
    BEFORE JACKING UP TO THE TOP OF THE
    FOUR TOWERS.
    STEEL MAST AND TENSION ROD ASSEMBLES THE CABLE-STRAYED SYSTEM. THE WIND UPLIFT FORCE ON THE
    ROOF IS ONE OF THE CRITICAL
    CONSIDERATIONS AND IS COUNTERBALANCED BY THE DEAD LOAD, SUCH THAT THE TENSION ROD WOULD NOT
    EXPERIENCE ANY COMPRESSIVE FORCE.
    MAIN SPORTS ARENA

    HONG KONG MUSEUM OF COASTAL DEFENSE CONSTRUCTION OF MAIN TRUSS

    HONG KONG MUSEUM OF COASTAL


    DEFENSE IS LOCATED AT THE HILLSIDE OF
    LEI YUE MUN PASS. FORMERLY KNOWN
    AS THE LEI YUE MUN FORT, IT WAS BUILT
    BY THE BRITISH FORCES MORE THAN A
    HUNDRED YEARS AGO TO DEFEND THE
    EASTERN APPROACH OF THE HARBOUR.
    ARCHSD REFURBISHED THE FORT INTO THE
    PRESENT TREMENDOUS MUSEUM IN 1999. CONCLUSION
    THE MAIN EXHIBITION GALLERY WAS COVERED UP BY A 42 METERS DIAMETER SPAN FABRIC ROOF.
    THE SUPPORTING TENSION STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF THE CENTRAL RING, VALLEY CABLES, RIDGE DESIGNING THE LARGE-SPAN STRUCTURES, THE CHOICE OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS IS
    CABLES, IMPORTANT. MOREOVER, A MORE CHALLENGING ASPECT IS CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AS THE
    TIE-DOWN CABLES, MAIN MASTS, PERIMETER MASTS AND GROUND ANCHORAGES. THE FABRIC CONSTRUCTION OFTEN INVOLVES LIFTING PROCEDURE. AS A RESULT, SAFETY ASPECT SHOULD
    STRUCTURE HAS AN IRREGULAR PLAN SHAPE TO FOLLOW THE AIR-RAID SHELTERS UNDERNEATH. BE CAREFULLY SUPERVISED. THE STABILITY AFTER COMPLETION IS IMPORTANT, AND THE
    PTFE STABILITY OF PARTIALLY COMPLETED STRUCTURAL COMPONENT IS ALSO ONE OF THE CRITICAL
    COATED MEMBRANE MATERIAL IS USED AS ROOFING FOR ITS LIGHTWEIGHT AND HIGH TENSILE STAGES, SUCH THAT THE CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE SHOULD BE ASSESSED TO IDENTIFY
    STRENGTH. ACCIDENT RISKS. IN ADDITION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE STRUCTURES SHOULD
    BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN THE RISK ASSESSMENT.
