Primary radial beams are supported by the GY and HY columns in the upper bowl. Three-dimensional view of a section at HY and GY columns 1.2 Primary Radial Beam At each expansion joint, twin columns were used to support the components up to the podium level. A circumferential expansion joint was provided to isolate the upper and lower bowls. Also, the expansion joints were provided to isolate the podium level from ramps. The stadium has an oval and divided into six different sections by expansion joints. Primary, secondary, and circumferential beams.Vomitory staircases designed for the entry and exit of the audience from the stadium.A podium level to enter the upper and lower bowls.Upper and lower bowls planned for seating.The structural elements of the Sardar Patel Stadium are: Structural Elements of the Sardar Patel Stadium Construction Stages of the Sardar Patel Stadiumġ. In this article, we discuss the structural elements, some of the major precast components like the HY and GY columns, radial circumferential beams, vomitory staircases, and the construction features of the Sardar Patel Stadium. For the rapid entry and exit of the audience seating in the stadium, two gigantic pedestrian staircases were constructed from street level to the podium level.Ĭonstruction of the world’s biggest and largest stadium is a triumph for the construction industry in terms of adopting the biggest precast segments by using detailed and innovative methods and erection techniques. The seating capacity of each bowl, upper and lower, is 55,000. The podium level is located 12 m above the nearby streets and serves the traffic-free movement for pedestrians to walk towards the upper and lower seating bowls. The complex design of the portal frame was characterized by the planners to give a 360-degree view of the cricket field from the seating level (podium level). For each stage, the precast components were precisely planned and designed. Thus, there was a need for the development of innovative structural components during different phases of erection. These attributes complicated the transportation, casting, lifting, and erection of the precast components in the portal frames. This resulted in huge and hefty components with complex and unbalanced geometries. The planning and designing groups discretized the precast components, and a strong emphasis was put on limiting the quantity of components and their joints. While stadiums are generally built with repetitive structural elements, the Sardar Patel Stadium was constructed with precast concrete segments to ensure faster and high-quality construction. Just like any other stadium, Sardar Patel Stadium follows the exposed-concrete design. The stadium was planned and designed by POPULOUS- a sports-architecture firm based in Australia and was constructed in collaboration with India’s top contractor Larsen & Toubro. The stadium consists of four team dressing rooms and facilities, 76 corporate boxes, state-of-the-art club facilities with three practice grounds, an indoor cricket academy, and an Olympic-size swimming pool.

Despite the immensity of the project, the stadium was constructed within a period of three years. The Motera stadium is the home ground of the Gujarat Cricket Association. The stadium can accommodate 10,000 more people than Australia’s iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground, making it the largest cricket stadium in the world. The stadium is spread across 63 acres of land with a seating capacity of 110,000. It is situated on the banks of the Sabarmati river in Motera, Ahmedabad. The cricket stadium is located in the state of Gujarat in India. Sardar Patel Stadium was renamed as Narendra Modi Stadium on 24 th February 2021, also known as Motera Stadium.
