Truss cantilevers are supported on concrete columns on roof top and are fixed via tensioned members on the back. Back structure forms planar trusses the chords of which are the tensioned members and the concrete columns. Lateral stability bracings are placed between some of the concrete columns. Structural design of stadium was performed by Thornton Thomasetti. KALLIERGOS OTM S.A. performed structural verification of all main steel joints of roof. Finite element analysis was used in all joint verifications.
