Over the years, many soccer stadiums in Brazil have been designed to withstand accidental loads (people loads) to be of static type. However, based on the changes in the people's behaviour, especially in soccer matches, through the action of groups of fans and also with the use of these structures for rock concerts, these structural systems have been subjected to dynamic impacts related to the dynamic nature of the applied loads. Therefore, some of these stadiums in Brazil have presented excessive vibration problems and have required an effective consideration of the dynamic loadings in the structural design. This way, this research work aims to study the dynamic structural behaviour and evaluate the structural system performance of the Brasilia National Stadium grandstands, when the human comfort is considered. The results achieved during the development of this study are compared with those provided by design standards and international recommendations. The presented results show the relevance of the dynamic analysis on the structural design of soccer stadiums, with respect to obtaining relevant data for human comfort and as well safety of users of this type of structure.
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.
