Purpose of Investigation
Assignment #1; August 2013: Determine the extent and cause of the concrete cracking at the
concourse level of the stadium.
Assignment #2; February 2014: Evaluate the concourse level of the stadium for structural deficiencies
resulting from improper structural design and/or construction.
Assignment #3; March 2014: Evaluate the entire stadium facility for structural deficiencies resulting
from improper structural design and/or construction.
Assignment #4; April 2014: Partner with Datum Engineering for design development of a repair and strengthening plan to rectify identified structural deficiencies.

![Page 10: Allen ISD Eagle Stadium Structural Problems -- Presentation Of Findings](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103101/55cf96c6550346d0338db37e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Strength vs. Durability
Strength: The ability of a structural member or system to support its own weight and superimposed loads with a code-specified factor of safety
Durability: The ability of a structural member or system to serve its intended purpose for its required service life
![Page 11: Allen ISD Eagle Stadium Structural Problems -- Presentation Of Findings](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103101/55cf96c6550346d0338db37e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A bit about concrete… 1 of 2
Concrete is much stronger when you push on it than when you pull or bend it…
Thus, reinforcing steel is added to compensate
![Page 12: Allen ISD Eagle Stadium Structural Problems -- Presentation Of Findings](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103101/55cf96c6550346d0338db37e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A bit about concrete… 2 of 2
Concrete Shrinks!
Cracks Emphasized by Author
![Page 13: Allen ISD Eagle Stadium Structural Problems -- Presentation Of Findings](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103101/55cf96c6550346d0338db37e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Remember:
1. Concrete needs properly designed steel reinforcement for strength and durability.
2. Concrete without properly designed reinforcement and/or joints will make its own joints by cracking.
Also: Reinforcing steel corrodes (rusts) when cracks in concrete allow exposure to air and water…

Remediation Approaches
Design-Bid-Build
Key Advantage: Total cost for repair known prior to
commencement of construction
Key Disadvantage: Construction can not begin until all
engineering design is complete (≈5 months)Staged Design/Construction
Key Advantage: Design is segmented into “packages” such
that construction begins as packages are issued
Key Disadvantage: Total cost of construction uncertain until later in the repair process
