Here you will write summary of your term project focussed on key points/findings
about the structure.

1.0 Introduction
In this section, you will provide the general information about the structure that you
considered for your term project. The information will include the following aspects
which may be listed in the tabular form. If information for any of the fields below is
not available, you can skip that. Information for at least five (5) fields must be
provided.

Table 1.1: General information about the structure

Type of Structure Truss

Location: Islamabad
Area (sq. ft) [sq. m] Suburban
Glued laminated timber (120 m), steel (18000 kg), reinforced
Materials Used:
concrete
Structural Components Tension Member, Compression Member, Simple Joints
No. of Storeys

2.0 Purpose of the Structure

The main purpose of Bully Arena is to serve as a training ice-hockey hall intended for
ice-hockey youth. Now and then exhibition matches or tournaments in various kinds
of sports may be organized there as well as different cultural and social events. The
hall capacity is 1000 onlookers, while 650 seated on the main terraces. The icy area
may be used for another 500 people. The multi-purpose sports hall serves for sports
and cultural utilization of about 80 000 inhabitants of the region of Opava, for training
of young ice-hockey and skating talents.

3.0 Structural System & Components

The roof of the arena consists of truss system made of composite material i.e. steel
and timber. Following are the details of the structural system and its components.

3.1 Dimensions
Longitudinal arc section of the hall comprises of variable height is timber columns of
the main timber roof trusses. Height of location of root joints is the same for all roof
trusses.

3.2 Type of structural system

The main bearing structure of roofing consists of saddle timber roof truss from glued
laminated timber in combination with steel rods and steel joints. Spatial bracing of the
bearing structure is secured by transversal steel bracings in lateral fields that go from
trusses imposition on one side through roof level towards imposition of trusses on the
other side.

3.3 Type of structural components

The truss consists of the following structural components

 Tension members
 Compression Members
 Beams as purlins

3.4 Foundation/Supports
The trusses are placed on the dead of concrete columns by joints; on one truss side
there is hard jointed imposition, on the other side of the truss there is sliding jointed
imposition with coefficient of friction f=0,15.

3.5 Materials
The material of timber roof trusses is a glued laminated timber of CB class, steel S
235, steel of joints is galvanized by flame. The material of bracings is steel pole, steel
S 235, steel galvanized by flame.

4.0 Applied loads and Codes

The bearing system was computed by FEM programmes IDA NEXIS.
Used codes are ČSN 73 / 1701 Navrhování dřevěných stavebních konstrukcí (Design

of timber structures, ČSN 73 / 1401 Navrhování ocelových konstrukcí (Design of steel

structures). As actions on structures were self-weight of the roof, snow and wind
according to ČSN 73 / 0035 Zatížení stavebních konstrukcí.

5.0 Interesting Details

The interesting detail was the joint of timber with steel rods. The connection was a pin
connection. The connection if wood in the joint comprised of steel gusset plate bolted
with wooden members. In one of the connections, there were 6 members connected,
three of them wooden and three steel rods.
