Abstract
In general, stadium structure with long span has low inherent natural frequency. In the stadium structure, structural behavior similar to resonance can be occurred easily by spectator rhythmical movements of which exciting period is small comparatively. It is required to investigate the safety and the serviceability of stadium structure. Therefore, there exists a necessity for accurate vibration analysis. Accurate analysis of stadium structure subjected to dynamic load is required for economical construction and safe design of stadium structure. Stadium structure should be modeled by refined mesh for accurate vibration analysis. As the mesh of stadium structure is refined, the number of divided elements increases in numerical analysis. The number of node is increased and numerous computer memories or computational time are required. So it is very difficult to analyze refine model of stadium structures by using the commercial programs. It is possible to efficient vibration analysis of stadium structure by finite element modeling method using equivalent beam element proposed in this paper, because the number of nodes is decreased remarkably.
