Abstract
A continuous intermediate raker beam in the first tier of a football stadium was analysed using elastic
method and designed using Eurocode 2. The raker beam was analysed for permanent and variable
actions due to crowd load and permanent loads only. Due to its inclination, it was subjected to
significant bending, axial, and shear forces. However, design results show that the effect of axial
force was not very significant in the quantity of shear reinforcement required. Asv/Sv ratio of 1.175
(3Y10mm @ 200 c/c) was found to satisfy shear requirements. The greatest quantity of longitudinal
reinforcement was provided at the intermediate support with a reinforcement ratio of 1.3404%. The
provided reinforcement was found adequate to satisfy ultimate and serviceability requirements.
1.0 Introduction
The most common construction concept of sports stadiums today is a composite type where usually precast
concrete terrace units (seating decks) span between inclined (raker) steel or reinforced concrete beams and rest
on each other, thereby forming a grandstand (Karadelis, 2012). The raker beams are usually formed in-situ with
the columns of the structure, or sometimes may be preferably precast depending on site/construction constraints.
This arrangement usually forms the skeletal frame of a stadium structure.
In this paper, a raker beam isolated from a double tiered reinforced concrete grandstand that wraps around a
football pitch has been presented for the purpose of structural analysis and design. A repetitive pattern has been
adopted in the design which utilizes a construction joint of 25mm gap between different frame units. By
estimate, each frame unit is expected to carry a maximum of 3600 spectators, under full working conditions.
With ten different frames units, the stadium capacity is about 35000 after all other reservations have been taken
into account. Each grandstand frame has precast L-shaped seating terrace units that span in between reinforced
concrete raker beams inclined at angles between 20° - 22° with the horizontal. Crowd load and other loads are
transferred from the seating units to the raker beams, which then transfers them to the columns and then to the
foundations. Load from the service areas and concourse areas are also transferred using the same method.

The three dimensional view of the skeleton of the grandstand is shown in Figure 1.1, while a sectionthrough the grandstand is shown if Figure 1.2. Section through the L-shaped seating unit is shown inFigure 1.3.
In simple horizontal beams, vertical forces will produce vertical reactions only. However, once a beam is
statically indeterminate and inclined, vertical forces will produce both vertical and horizontal reactions and as a
result, axial forces which may be compressive or tensile in nature will be induced in the beam. In the design of
horizontal floor beams in normal framed structures, the effect of axial force in the shear force capacity of the
section is usually neglected. This is largely due to the fact that these forces are usually compressive, and in
effect tends to increase the concrete resistance shear stress (Vc) and (VRd,c) of the section in accordance with BS
8110-1:1997 and EC2 respectively. It is a well known phenomenon that compressive axial force increases the
concrete resistance shear stress of a section, while tensile axial force will reduce the concrete resistance shearstress. So this neglect can be justified in terms of it being a conservative design which can only err in economy.
However for inclined beams members in a frame (as in the case of a grandstand), axial force behaviour can vary
greatly especially when the load is applied in the global direction (which is the prevalent scenario). In other
words, based on the structural configuration of the structure and the loading, it is even common to see the
nature of axial forces moving from positive (tensile) to negative (compressive) in the same span of an
inclined member. If the load is however resolved and applied in the local direction of the inclined member, the
axial forces will be absent. A good design will therefore require the use of less shear reinforcement in the axial
compression zone, and more shear reinforcement in the axial tension zone. While the effect of axial forces may
be neglected in horizontal floor beams under axial compression, it may be unsafe to neglect it in inclined beams
because more often than not, some sections are usually under axial tension.

1.2 Materials, Model, and Loading
Structural design of stadiums is critical and this becomes more obvious when EN 1990 (Eurocode – Basis for
Structural Design) classified it under ‘Consequence Class 3’ which by description means high consequence for
loss in terms of human life, economy, environmental considerations, and otherwise if failure should occur.
Several codes of practice across different countries and bodies have provisions made in them for the design of
structures subjected to crowd loading (for example stadiums), but the level of expertise often associated with the
processes in terms of analysis, design and construction is often perceived to be something left to a limited few.
The application of static crowd imposed loads according to both BS 6399-1:1997( Loading on buildings - Code
of practice for dead and imposed loads) and EN 1991-1: ( Action on structures: General actions - Densities,
self-weight, imposed loads for buildings) are given in Table 1 below:

Raker beams in stadiums usually support precast seating terrace units which may be L-shaped, or extended into
a more complex shape (see Figure 1.5). These seating terrace units are designed as simply supported elements
spanning between the raker beams (Karadelis, 2012, Salyards et al 2005). The crowd loading is supported
directly by these terrace units, which then transfer the load to the raker beams through the bearings. This
construction concept has been adopted in the design of Cape Town Stadium (South Africa) for the 2010 FIFAworld Cup (Plate 1.5). The picture in (Figure 1.4) below shows the formwork and construction of in-situ raker
beams at San Diego State University Student Activity Center (Steele and Larson 1996).
In this design, each L-shaped seating unit is 7m long, which means that the raker beams are spaced at 7m centre
to centre. The crowd loading is supported by the terrace seating units, which is then transferred to the raker
beams through the end shears. The raker beams can be analysed as sub-frames or as full 3D structures in order
to get the most realistic behaviour of the structure.

reinforcement for in-situ raker beam (Steele
and Larson 1996).

Self weight of raker beam
Concrete own weight (waist area) = 1.2m × 0.4m × 25 KN/m3 = 12.00 KN/m (normal to the inclination i.e. inthe local direction)
Height of riser in the raker beam = 0.4m; Width of tread in the raker beam = 0.8m; Angle of inclination (
)=
20.556°
Stepped area (risers) = 1 2⁄ × 0.4 × 25 = 5 KN/m (in the global direction)For purely vertical load in the global y-direction, we convert the load from the waist of the beam by;
UDL from waist of the beam = (12.00 × cos 20.556°) = 11.236 KN/m Total self weight (Gk) = 11.236 + 5 = 16.235 KN/m
Self weight of raker beam at ultimate limit state;
n = 1.35∑(GKi) = 1.35 × 16.235 = 21.917 KN/mLoad from precast seating units
End shear from precast seating unit = FE/2 = 110.355 = 55.1775 KN
Total number of the precast seating units on the beam = 24/0.8 = 30 unitsFor an intermediate beam supporting seating units on both sides;
Total number of precast seating units = 2 × 30 = 60 unitsTherefore, total shear force transferred from the seating units to the raker beam = 55.1775 × 60 = 3310.65 KNEquivalent uniformly distributed load in the global direction at ultimate limit state =
. = 137.94 KN/m
Total load on intermediate raker beams at ultimate limit state in the global direction = 137.94 + 21.917 =
159.857 KN/m
1.3 Structural Analysis
A full 3D elastic analysis of the whole stadium was performed using Staad Pro with all elements
loaded at ultimate limit state. Also, the raker beam is isolated as a subframe and also analysed. Theresults from the two models are very comparable.

Since VRDmax > VEd

= 0.9000
Trying 3Y10mm @ 200mm c/c (235/200 = 1.175)
1.175 > 0.9153 Hence shear reinforcement is ok.
1.5 Discussion and Conclusion
It is very easy to see that the influence of axial force was not very pronounced in the results produced. It would
have been very significant using BS 8110. The maximum reinforcement was seen at support B due the high
magnitude of moment at that section. This phenomenon is consistent with horizontal continuous beams. See
detailing sketches in Figure 2.0.
