Structure of the building
Sinan Erdem Dome has a steel roof structure, in a spherical shell form, with a dimensional span of 112 m × 154 m (367 ft × 505 ft). It also has two planar faces on each side, which forms an overall shuttle like geometry. The main load bearing supports of the arena's structure are 6 reinforced concrete twin columns, with an r/c support mass, which holds the tail section of the roof's form. The head section of the roof is fixed to the existing structure.
The steel trusses have fixed supports on top of twin columns. The top and bottom chords are made up of circular hollow sections, which form a triangular shape. There are three main trusses and secondary circular girders that rest on them, which builds up the skeleton structure, while trapezoidal steel sheet covers complete the roofing system. The steel roof and its supports are separate from the tribune structure, constituting an independent structure by itself.[4]
