The current paper discusses about the work made on the study to develop a highly adaptable and versatile stadium, departing from traditional single-purpose designs, with a focus on maximizing utility. With a substantial gross seating capacity of 61424, the stadium is intended to host various sports competitions and large public gatherings. The planning process relies on Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) software to ensure precise detailing in structural aspects. Advanced engineering software enhances structural analysis, allowing for comprehensive investigations into dynamic load responses. The design's reliability is ensured through a combination of manual calculations and engineering software outcomes.

“…Excessive structural vibrations, due to different dynamic loads, are among the most serious and dangerous scenarios to occur in the case of civil engineering structures (see [1][2][3] for example). Grandstands are structures which are regularly subjected to dynamic loads generated by crowd motions [4,5]. It is a dangerous situation when spectators induce rhythmic jumping, dancing, stamping, etc.…”

“…Due to a relatively light weight and slender structural members, such structures are quite vulnerable to dynamic excitations [8,9]. If the synchronized movement of spectators excites a natural frequency of the grandstand, resonant response might occur, and this effect can be really fatal for the structure [5]. To avoid such situations, temporary steel grandstands are very often strengthened using additional elements that create bracing system which is selected depending on the size of the structure, type of the event, acting load, etc.…”

Grandstands are structures which are regularly subjected to dynamic loads generated by crowd motions. It is a dangerous situation when spectators induce rhythmic jumping, dancing, stamping, etc. If the synchronized movement of spectators excites a natural frequency of the structure, resonant response might occur. To avoid such situations, temporary steel grandstands are commonly strengthened using additional elements that create bracing system which is selected depending on the size of the structure, type of the event, acting load, etc. It was proved that not only the use but also the arrangement of such structural members is crucial for the dynamic structural resistance. The aim of the present study is to determine the most effective arrangement of bracing system for a typical example of the temporary steel grandstand which is exposed to dynamic load induced by spectators. Three different arrangements of bracing systems have been analysed using five criteria recommended in the literature. The results of the study clearly show that the dynamic parameters of the grandstand are substantially different for various types of bracing systems. The largest improvement in the structural behaviour has been obtained for the grandstand equipped with the bracing system satisfying all proposed criteria. The peak accelerations for this case have been found to be nearly twice as low as for structures with other bracing arrangements. The application of such a system for the grandstand which is exposed to human-induced vibrations allows for safe use of the structure as well as improves comfort of spectators.
