The present article is concerned with determination and research of probable geometric deviations of the large-span shell covering stadium stands with a large notch on the elliptical plan of Donbas Arena in town of Donetsk. The authors implemented a review of previous studies in the field of geometric deviations, erection loads, and other specific factors arising in the process of design → manufacturing → erection → service of steel structures of large-span shells. Determination and analysis of erection and assembly deviations arising during erection of stadium shell unit is done by means of author’s software application - Computing System ‘Dimensional Analysis of Lattice Structures’ (VK RASK). The results of analysis and studies show that the amounts of geometric deviations arising during assembly of shell unit before elevation have been estimated. The authors analysed measures provided by the project of MERO enterprise for compensation of erection and assembly deviations and loads in the roof.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
