CONCEPT
concept was for the venue was to evoke
the geometry of the cycling track in the
form of the building, which after much
refinement resulted in the double-curved

CONSTRUCTION:
Sustainability elements:
The building has been designed to be lightweight and efficient to reflect
the efficient design of a bicycle
Use of abundant daylight through strategically positioned rooflights
reduces need for artificial lighting and allows natural ventilation
Water saving fittings built into design to allow collection of rainwater for
reuse in building, helping reduce water consumption
Lightweight cable-net roof structure weighs 30kg/m2 compared to
65kg/m2 for the Beijing Velodrome, helping create a highly efficient building
Raft Foundation
The 6,000 seat venue will host the Olympic and Paralympic indoor Track
Cycling events.
More than 900 piles have been driven to depths of up to 26m to complete
the foundations of the London 2012 Velodrome the Olympics main
cycling venue.

FORM:
FORM :
- As tension structures are very sensitive to
movement at the supports, the Velodrome roof
needed a stiff steel compression ring, which
was in turn borne by raking trusses that also
supported the seating.
Use Software :
-The trusses in turn were rigidly mounted on the
concrete base structure.
Designers used GSA Analysis modeling software
(Oasys) throughout the design process, from form
finding the cable net to static analysis to checking the
vibration characteristics of the completed building.
-Unlike most double curved surfaces, hyperbolic surfaces have a curious property: you can
make them entirely out of straight lines
-Hyperbolic surfaces are double-ruled surfaces, meaning that they are formed from two
series of parallel lines. The classic version of this is the hyperbolic parabolic, or hyper for
short, which you can form by twisting a rectangular plane
ROOF STRUCTURE
The basic structure of the roof is a cable net, a criss-cross of tensile members
held at the perimeter. Engineer Andrew Weir draws an analogy with the taut
strings of a tennis racket. This solution was chosen in large part because it will be
fast to erect, but it will also be light and efficient.
Roof Covering and Cladding
have supported little more than a fabric skin.
high level of insulation was required.
The roof will be formed of panel units or cassettes, to be detailed by the
contractor.
Most will be 3.6 x 3.6m solid units, plus strips of narrower roof light units
made up in a similar way.
Four cranes will drop the panels into place, while the roof will be temporarily
weatherproofed with fold-over strips between the cassettes.
On top of this, a vapor membrane and Calzip aluminum cladding will be
placed.
welding each 130m span will come in a single
piece 400mm wide and will be fixed to T sections
screwed to the cassettes.
The upper portion of each rib will also support the
exterior cladding in the form of 288 long, tapered
timber cassettes.
Six vertically stacked cassettes will span each bay
a width of about 8m and these will be over clad
with timber rain screen panels.
MATERIAL USE :
Each cable was prepared in advance and marked with the precise position of the intersection nodes
to produce a 3.60-metre grid of right-angled roof panels after tensioning. Cast steel clamps connect
intersecting cable pairs and carry support points for the roof covering
Timber frame panels make up the load-carrying layer of the roof construction.
Joints between the elements (6 centimeters in width on average) allow for movement in the 'soft'
roof construction.
A corner of each of four panels is independently supported by a bracket and a connecting plate.
Precast prestressed concrete is the overwhelming choice for stadiums and arenas
because of its
