3. Full Name : Olympiastadion Berlin
Location : Westend, Charlottenburg-
Wilmersdorf, Berlin, Germany
Owner :Olympiastadion Berlin GmbH
Architect :Werner March/Albert Speer &
Friedrich Wilhelm Krahe
Built :1934 to 1936
Opened : 1936
Capacity : 74,064
Field size : 105 × 68 m
The Olympic Stadium in Berlin has been designed by the architect Werner March for the Olympic Games from
1933 and is the largest stadium in Germany. The construction is listed as protected monuments. The stadium
oval is interrupted by the Marathon gate allowing the Bell tower to be seen from inside the stadium. The oval
is 300 m long, 215 m wide and the grandstand has a maximum height of 15 m above the surrounding ground.
The upper and lower terraces are separated by a inner gallery. The grandstand was built with precast
reinforced concrete (prefabricated step units and precast radial frames). The columns of the outer and the
inner galleries are made of stone blocks.

4. Structural Members of Berlin Olympic Stadium
There are tubular radial and tangential truss girders
with welded nodes and 76 radial truss girders, one
for every two stone facade columns. They are two
vertical flange trusses and are carried by two
tangential members: a spatial, three-flange truss
sustained by the tree dinner columns and an outer
spatial beam sustained by the outer columns. At the
side of the roof in the vicinity of the joint between
the membrane and the glass surfaces there is an
inclined two-flange truss, which has the role of
equalizing the vertical displacements at the ends of
the radial girders. In between the described
members there are tangential tubular bars linking
the upper nodes of the radial girders and
respectively the lower nodes. Their role is to stabilize
the radial girders by carrying the horizontal
tangential forces to the bracing. The curved lower
flange of the radial truss is stabilized vertically by
means of a steel cable.
The Olympiastadion was partly covered for the first time. A roof existing of steel and Plexiglas was added
on the main tribunes. At that time, these were modern and light materials and gave the stadium a
completely new look.

Figure 2.1. Coated Fibre Glass Membrane(PTFE)
Teflon is the registered trade name of the highly useful plastic material polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). PTFE
is one of a class of plastics known as fluoropolymers. A polymer is a compound formed by a chemical reaction
which combines particles into groups of repeating large molecules. Many common synthetic fibers are
polymers, such as polyester and nylon. PTFE is the polymerized form of tetrafluoroethylene. PTFE has many
unique properties, which make it valuable in scores of applications. It has a very high melting point, and is also
stable at very low temperatures. It can be dissolved by nothing but hot fluorine gas or certain molten metals,
so it is extremely resistant to corrosion. (derieved from http://www.madehow.com/Volume-7/Teflon.html)

Construction
The erection of the steel structure has always
started at a radius with inner column. Following
steps were used. Firstly came the outer columns
and the steel and pre-cast R/C elements of the
perimeter beam. The inner column was then erected
and temporarily supported. Afterwards the assembly
made by the parts of the radial trusses adjacent to
the inner column and lying between this column and the outer beam was erected. All spatial parts were welded
outside the stadium and were already equipped with the steel arches, which had to carry the upper textile
membrane (Fig.2.4). At this stage the structure became self stabilized, there was no longer need for the
temporary support of the inner column.
After ballasting of the outer beam the erection
continued with the tangential spatial truss linking the
inner columns, the rests of the radial and tangential
steel structure and so on.

10. Precast reinforced concrete wall panels can take many forms. It consist of steel-reinforced concrete ribs
that run vertically and horizontally in the panels. Others are solid precast concrete panels. Panels are
precast and cured in a controlled factory environment so weather delays can be avoided. A typical
panelised foundation can be erected in four to five hours, without the need to place concrete on site for
the foundation. The result is a foundation that can be installed in any climate zone in one sixth of the time
needed for a formed concrete wall.
ADVANTAGES
• Ease of installation
• Well manufactured in advance of installation
• Most panels included embedded connections
hardware
• Consistent quality
• Reduced weather dependency
• Environmentally Friendly
• Weather and UV resistance

elements to ensure efficient and quality installation. Items should be carefully planned such as:
• Method and sequence of assembly and erection
• Provide temporary supports
• Provision for final structural connections and joint details
• Handling and rigging requirements
STEP 1:
• Set reference line and offset line
• Determine the position of
precast elements to install

BEAM & COLUMN
Precast concrete beams and columns can be used to create the entire framing system for the shell
of a building. A precast concrete structural system can provide a number of benefits, including speed
of erection, single-source provider for all framing needs, consistent high quality, durable structural
support, fire resistance and others.
Columns: – A column is a vertical member carrying the beam and floor loadings to the foundation.
It is a compression member and therefore the column connection is required to be proper. The main
principle involved in making column connections is to ensure continuity and this can be achieved by
a variety of methods.
Beams: – Beams can vary in their complexity of design and reinforcement from the very simple
beam formed over an isolated opening to the more common encountered in frames where the
beams transfer their loadings to the column. Methods of connecting beams and columns are
A precasting concrete haunch is cast on to the column with a locating dowel or stud bolt to fix the
beam.
A projecting metal corbel is fixed to the column and the beam is bolted to the corbel.
Column and beam reinforcement, generally in the form of hooks, are left exposed. The two
members are hooked together and covered with in-situ concrete to complete the joint. This is as
shown in the figure.

BEAM & COLUMN
Advantages:
• Saving in cost, material, time & manpower.
• Shuttering and scaffolding is not necessary.
• Installation of building services and finishes can be done immediately.
• Independent of weather condition.
• Components produced at close supervision .so quality is good
• Clean and dry work at site.
• Possibility of alterations and reuse

• Very thin sections can be entirely precast with precision.
Disadvantages:
• Handling and transportation may cause breakages of members during the transit and extra
provision is to be made.
• Difficulty in connecting precast units so as to produce same effect as monolithic. This leads to
non-monolithic construction.
• They are to be exactly placed in position, otherwise the loads coming on them are likely to get
changed and the member may be affected.
• Disadvantages:
• High transport cost
• Need of erection equipment
• Skilled labor and supervision is required.

A stairs is a set of steps or
flight leading from one floor
to another. It is designed to
provide easy and quick access
to different floors. The steps
of a stair may be constructed
as a series of horizontal open
treads with a space between
the treads (as in a ladder or a
foot-over bridge) or as
enclosed steps with a vertical
face between the treads,
called a riser. The enclosure
or part of the building
containing a stairs is called
