Project Description

Delta analyzed a retractable hanging goal post and netting for the Miami Dolphins. Delta was provided information on the type of netting and hanging goal post that would be at the Miami Dolphins stadium. The analysis included calculating gravity, live, wind, and seismic forces applied to both the goal post and netting. Once all loads were calculated,  Delta created a Risa-3d model of the goal post and the structural support assembly that the goal post and netting would be attached to. The loads were applied to the model and an analysis was ran, from this Delta was able to check the unity bending and shear ratio to ensure all structural steel had enough capacity for the loads applied. This analysis also provided Delta with the reactions on the support assembly which were used to check the capacity of the baseplates, bolts and welds that would connect the structural assembly to the stadium.
