Site visit #2 Constructed building.

Site: Kardinia Park, Geelong.
Grandstand pavillion.
Construction type: portal frame on concrete construction.





Analysis: The grandstand is initially concrete construction in order to obtain a stepped seeting area. The roofing system, however, is a portal frame. Shown in the photographs, a triangular x bracing is used to hold the structure together as a stabilising element.
