Tests were carried out on a rigid model of the structure. Pressure distributions on the external surface (roof and lateral external wall of the stadium) were measured on a 1/100 rigid model of the stadium. The objective of the study was to determine the wind pressure on the secondary elements of the structure (roof claddings and fabric roof) and the global wind loads (pressure loads plus the contribution of the inertial forces) for the structural design of the roof of the stadium (primary structural elements). The stadium was tested with roof in different opening configuration.
