Abstract:

Construction problems with a major addition to the Clemson Memorial Stadium in Clemson, S.C., halted construction for four months. In order to make up the time, the design firm had to redesign the addition. The deadline was met only a few days before the year's first college football game was played. Some of the construction problems were solved with the following: underpinning, second-order frame-analysis, beam-on-elastic foundation analysis, and segmental post-tensioning. Dynamic stringer analyses were used to completely redesign the upper deck addition.
